Orang Timur Tengah Amerika

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas
(Dialihkan dari Timur Tengah Amerika)

Orang Timur Tengah Amerika (bahasa Inggris: Middle Eastern Americans) adalah orang Amerika dengan latar belakang Timur Tengah. Mereka berasal dari berbagai kelompok etnik dari Timur Tengah dan Asia Barat, seperti Kurdi dan Asiria, selain itu juga dari imigran yang berasal dari dunia Arab, Iran, Israel, Turki, dan terkadang Armenia.[1][2][3][4]

Meskipun pernah dianggap sebagai bagian dari orang Asia Amerika, definisi modern untuk "orang Asia Amerika" sekarang tidak termasuk orang berlatar belakang Asia Barat.[5]
