Like "outsiders"--such as the Irish and the Jewish--have been incorporated into the Americans' notions of who are whites, some scholars and policy makers believe that Asian-Americans are following such a trajectory of inclusion under an expanded definition of "whiteness." The sociologist George Yancey, in "Who Is White? Latinos, Asians, and the New Black/Nonblack Divide," argues that Asian-Americans, along with some Latinos, are undergoing significant levels of structural, marital, and identificational assimilation. The question of whether Asian-Americans are becoming white is a complex one. In this article, the author explains how Asian-Americans are "becoming" white. He also discusses how the majority and other minority groups in the U.S. perceive the assimilation of Asian-Americans into the strict American social boundaries.
