Asian Americans
The Asian American population--nearly 18 million at the time of the 2010 census--continues to grow steadily, with U.S. immigrants from Asian countries recently surpassing those from Hispanic ones. About three quarters of Buddhist and Hindu Asian Americans commemorate Christmas, and Asian Americans are the most likely of any racial group to enter interracial marriages. According to a Pew Forum survey in 2012, almost half of Asian Americans are Christian, with 13 percent of those identifying as evangelical.
