Ancient Asia Minor is a geographic region located in the south-western part of Asia comprising most of what is present-day Turkey. The earliest reference to the region comes from tablets of the Akkadian Dynasty (2334-2083 BCE) where it is known as “The Land of the Hatti” and was inhabited by the Hittites. The Hittites themselves referred to the land as "Assuwa" (or, earlier, Aswiya) which actually only designated the area around the delta of the river Cayster in Lydia but came to be applied to the entire region. Assuwa is considered the Bronze Age origin for the name `Asia' as the Romans later designated the area. It was called, by the Greeks, “Anatolia” (literally, 'place of the rising sun’, for those lands to the east of Greece).

Answer:
<u>because Nixon was not referring to him directly but to the entire Hispanic community.</u>
Explanation:
Note what the original excerpt says,
<em>"Because of colonial Mexico, I am mestizo. But I was reinvented by President Richard Nixon. In the early 1970s, </em><em>Nixon instructed the Office of Management and Budget to identify the major racial and ethnic groups in the United States. OMB came up with five major ethnic or racial groups. </em><em> The groups are white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Eskimo, and Hispanic."</em>
We can see from his statement that the Office of Management was tasked by President Richard Nixon with identifying several groups..., not Rodriguez directly, but the Hispanic community was among those included. Because of the fact that his ethnic group was included, Rodriguez exaggerated the actual direction from Nixon.
