Most of us would say "Asians" who live in America. When we say Asians, we basically accept the idea that people who are from continent of Asia. Also, "Asian people" in category of "Asians" have black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, small eyes. Basically, those people are chinese, japanese, korean, filipino, vietnamese, and other yellow skin asians. However, if we call people, who are from continent of Asia and who those came to settle down in America, are Asian American, how about people with blue eyes, pale skin, blonde hair from continent of Asia, for example, Russia? Why don't we call those people as Asians even though they are from continet of Asia? So my question are what "Asian Americans" are and how do you categorize them? You can answer from individual view or social view or both.
