		<description><![CDATA[examiner.com February 11, 2010 Michael Richardson Taiwan’s longstanding unresolved international status keeps the island out of the United Nations and the World Health Organization and has been described by the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals as caught in “political purgatory”. Taiwan’s purgatory extends to the United States Census Bureau. Although the Census Bureau is making efforts to avoid an undercount of Taiwan-Americans, a perfect storm exists to cause a miscount. The Office of Management and Budget determines the Census race question resulting in an “apples and oranges” mixture of skin color, language, and nationality. Persons of Asian heritage are given a list of countries and islands to chose from except individuals from Taiwan. Taiwanese-Americans who wish to be counted must check the “Other Asian” box and then write in Taiwanese. In the 2000 Census, 144,795 persons were counted as Taiwanese&#8211;but only on specialized tabulations of Asian respondents. For the general population tally Taiwanese respondents were counted as Chinese. The Taiwanese American Association thinks the 2000 number should have been closer to a million based on information and data from the community. “We strongly believe that the Taiwanese [population] was undercounted in the 1990 and 2000 Census.”    more &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[taiwaneseamerican.org As 2010 approaches, it&#8217;s yet another year for the US Census Bureau to gather data on residents in the United States. One major issue for our Taiwanese American community is the lack of accurate identification of those who have ties to Taiwan. In the 2000 Census, there were only 144,795 Taiwanese identified. Anyone who is actively involved in our Taiwanese American community knows that this is inaccurate. Current working estimates of the Taiwanese American population is probably in the range of at least 1 million. We are severely under counted by at least 80%!    more &#8230;]]></description>
