There's probably not an easy way to do that though, right? Census stats, other that asking you where you're born, can't really record how long ago someone's ancestors arrived, right, (aside from first-generation immigrants) whether they're 2nd generation or 7th generation. Plus, many African immigrants do marry and have kids with people in older African American communities.

I think the region of East Asia already has peaked in immigration from the 2000s to the 2010s, and South Asia is taking up more of the share of Asia.
If you look at the change from the turn of the millenium to 2014, it seems like, though not as much as Mexico (which went from 21 to 15%), the East Asian sources of naturalized citizens -- Korea, Vietnam (6% to 3%) and China (6% to 5%) have gone down in share, but India has gone up (5 to 6%).
