I'd have to double-check the numbers, but part of what feeds into that perception is that there's a very large percentage that's Asian-American as well.
Ha! I just downloaded one of my own public reports (I'm at home) to check this. Percentage of total student body that's Asian-American is 22.5%. It would take more work to figure out the percentage who are international students from Asia, particularly since I don't have a data element for "Asian" and would have to create a list of countries. Anyway, percentage of student body that's international is 14.3%, so the Asian population would be less than that, but probably still a significant portion of it. I wouldn't be surprised if the percentage of the student body that's Asian or Asian-American is over 30%.
