<p>What's the difference between an Asian American and an Asian and selecting "China" from the dropdown menu?</p>
<p>I think the difference is an Asian doesn't live in the U.S., an Asian-American does.</p>
<p>someone told me asian american = one who was born here..
i wasnt</p>
<p>do i still put that</p>
<p>i don't think it really matters unless you are an international applicant. as long as you are asian/asian american and a citizen/green card holder, i think it counts as the same.</p>
