In 2016, the Welsh Assembly of the time (now Welsh Parliament/Senedd Cymru) was criticised for not having a "Welsh Asian" tick box for polling purposes on an equalities form issued in Wales, by the Welsh Assembly.[2]

The second largest "high-level" ethnicity category in Wales in 2021 was “Asian, Asian Welsh or Asian British”. 89,000 people identified as this category, which is 2.9% of the Welsh population. This compares to 2.3% in 2011.[1]
