Hmong Americans are Americans of ethnic Hmong descent. Hmong Americans are one group of Asian Americans. Many Lao Hmong war refugees resettled in the U.S. following the communist takeover of Laos in 1975. Beginning in December of that year the first Hmong refugees arrived in the U.S. mainly from refugee camps in Thailand; however only 3466 were granted asylum at this time under the Refugee Assistance Act of 1975.[citation needed]
