Asians in New Zealand
Wairua Consulting, Waitakere City, Aotearoa/New Zealand
Self-description: "Asians are a growing population in New Zealand. By 2016 they are expected to make up 9% of New Zealand's and 20% of the Auckland Region's total population. There is debate about the utility of such a term, which is strategic on one hand and disguises difference on the other. This page has links to 'Asian' websites both in New Zealand and the rest of the world. 'Asian' is a term that has differing definitions depending on the geographical context in which it is used. Here it defines a category under which Indians are subsumed but more commonly in New Zealand it is used in reference to those of South East Asian and Chinese origin."
