Hong Kong Americans are individuals residing in the United States who identify themselves as Hong Kongers, either through heritage, birth, or long-term residence in Hong Kong. The influx of Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong immigrants increased after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, leading to the establishment of vibrant Chinatown communities in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. The handover of Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s also saw a significant number of highly skilled immigrants settling in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Los Angeles area, many of whom found employment in the technology industry. As of 2012, there are 219,231 people in the U.S. who were born in Hong Kong, with the largest populations in California and New York. Notable Hong Kong Americans include swimmer Nathan Adrian, preacher Francis Chan, actress Nancy Kwan, martial artist Bruce Lee, and chef Martin Yan, among others. Their contributions have enriched the cultural and professional landscape of the United States.
