Question

pacific islanders in the united states
composition in america
pacific islanders inhabit a unique dynamic in the u.s. due to the relationship between the u.s
and many of the pacific islands themselves
american pacific islanders: only 13% of pacific islanders in the united states are foreign
born, meaning the bulk (87%) are natural born citizens, indicating an established population
within the u.s. however, this trend is somewhat deceptive due to the nature of hawaii, guam,
and american samoa
geographic implications: hawaii is a state and guam is a territory, meaning people born on
these islands are u.s. citizens from birth. american samoans are u.s.
ationals.\ none of
these groups count as immigrants if they move anywhere within the u.s.
concentration: 86% of people with pacific islander heritage in the u.s. are concentrated
along the west coast and in islands. 75% live in california or hawaii
pacific islanders make up a small but growing portion of the u.s. population. beginning to
increase markedly following the 1965 immigration and nationality act, they numbered
roughly 365,000 as of the 1990 census, a number that reflected a dramatic increase from the
preceding 1980 census
which of the following would not be representative of the
average pacific islander in the u.s.?
a pacific islander living in california
a pacific islander who is a natural born citizen
a pacific islander living in the midwest

Explanation:

The text states that 86% of Pacific Islanders in the U.S. are concentrated along the West Coast and in islands, with 75% living in California or Hawaii. A Pacific Islander living in the Midwest would not fit this concentration pattern. Also, 87% are natural - born citizens, so a natural - born Pacific Islander is representative. And since 75% live in California or Hawaii, a Pacific Islander living in California is representative.

Answer:

a Pacific Islander living in the Midwest
