third paragraph: "Those who identified as 'Indian-alone' — or 100% Indian — on the 2020 US Census number 4.4 million, overtaking the 'Chinese-alone' population, which was previously the highest. When multiracial Americans are considered, Chinese is still the largest Asian group in the country, but the milestone pointed to how the Indian population has rocketed over the last decade.

"Chinese, Except Taiwanese"?  Anyone familiar with census (not just 2020 but those before) knows census form provided (about five) choices for Chinese etc (but not Taiwanese), then there is other with an empty box for one to fill it in. I select "other" and filled it in with handwritten "Taiwanese. But there are Taiwanese who would not bother and ticked "Chinese" (in part because it is more convenient to check).
