context_page_description: Asian Brazilians are Brazilian citizens of full or predominantly South Asian, East Asian and Southeast Asian ancestry or an Asian-born person permanently residing in Brazil. The vast majority of the Asian community in Brazil is made of immigrants from South Asia and East Asia, although there have also been smaller numbers of Southeast Asians, including a small number of Asians from the Caribbean, Mozambique and Kenya.
  The 2011 estimate for Brazilian Roma is about 800,000, but they are not counted as Asian, although they have distant ancestors coming from South Asia. People of West Asian origin are also generally not counted as Asians. On the other hand in some states like Amapa, the Amerindian and East Asian population are put in one category.
