Not according to the NSF, strangely enough -- people of Asian decent are not classified as an underrepresented group within STEM fields. Pick another US .gov agency and it might be different.

It's worth noting that "minority" and "underrepresented group" mean different things. I think you are right to talk about underrepresented groups instead of minorities because under-representation is at the heart of the issue.
