Insofar as minorities seek greater legal representation and rights, "Asian American" makes perfect sense as a political identity. If you're Burmese, why not throw in with Thai and Chinese Americans?
However, I'm unsure if anything tangible can be discerned about Americans' attitudes toward "Asian Americans." There are simply too many cultures represented that share not enough in common. Even "Hispanics" (a vexing, incoherent classification) have more in common than Asian Americans.
If you don't know what you're measuring, it's hard to understand the data and give it appropriate context.
Anecdata: My wife is a doctor AT A HOSPITAL and someone yelped at her a couple weeks ago as she was leaving the parking lot:
“Chinese, they don’t f*ing win! You don’t f*ing win!”
Made us both very upset
I would bet good money that distrust from every ethnic group to every other ethnic group is rising due to identity politics making this a salient attribute in every discussion.

It's what happens when there's a world power feeling threatened by a rising upstart. Be skeptical, folks.
i am a naturalized american who used to have a different passport most of the life. I've pondered who I would support in a hypothetical war between the countries. I haven't been able to resolve this.
I wonder what the poll would look like if you interviewed Taiwanese-Americans and Taiwanese living in America about their views of Chinese mainlanders.
Also, would be interesting to see a similar poll about Russians from Americans in general and Ukrainian-Americans.
Members at large of aggressor groups will be stereotyped, that's how humans work everywhere. Go to South Africa and interview locals about people from "up north".
