Notes

  1. Kilmer stated in an interview that he is of Mongolian descent. [33]

  3. This isn't actually a depiction of Dashi but simply that of a Kara-Khitan man.
  4. Lenin never spoke of his origins, and other ethnicities have been proposed instead of Kalmyk.

The term Mongol American is also used to include ethnic Mongol immigrants from groups outside of Mongolia as well, such as Kalmyks, Buryats, and people from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region of China. Some immigrants came from Mongolia to the United States as early as 1949, spurred by religious persecution in their homeland. However, Mongolian American communities today are composed largely of migrants who arrived in the 1990s and 2000s, as the Socialist Mongolia gradually collapsed and restrictions on emigration were lifted.
