Sir, I believe Washington state had a Chinese American governor a few years back. So he would be the first Asian to hold the job. Unless you go by the British convention of using Asian to refer to people around India and Pakistan and Oriental to refer to the people in eastern Asia.
Also, I'm not sure if that Chinese American governor was native born or an immigrant. I believe Jindal is an immigrant.
Here we go: Gary Locke, the former governor of Washington. He looks Chinese but he's actually 3rd generation American.
