Has any Asian-American ever run a sub 4 minute mile?

No but Asians are much better sprinters, distance runners than white americans if you look at the Japanese currently and their perofrmances.
Similarily, Chinese are much stronger than white americans in weightlifting.
Most US medals in championships and olympics in track and field and other pure athletic events come from blacks, latinos not whites.

That escalated quickly.
Many. If you count that most Europeans have Asian blood in them due to being conquered during the Mongol Hordes.

If you're going to go down that route, I guess you could count them as African too.
Annnnnndddd, we're done.
Haha. Seriously though, have there been any Asian-Americans (including East Asian, South Asian, etc.) that have run sub 4? I know there's been some good runners for both men and women that have run fast times but I'm not sure if any have gone under this particular barrier. How about Asian Brits?

suguru osako ran 3:42.68 minutes for the 1500 metres, i don't think he's a citizen yet but he run for NOP, also ran 13:08 for 5k.
Bahadur Prasad (India) ran 3:38 for 1500m. I'm pretty sure that converts to sub 4. He also ran 13:29 or so for 5000m

You know all the NOP athletes will become Americans , don't you ?
Did Brian Leung of Princeton do it?
Has any Prophet or Saint run under four minutes for the mile?Is there a righteous man amongst this generationOf gossiping, socially greedy runners? Whose only piety extends to training and being apathetic to every injustice, discernation, and important cause of our darkening times? How many sub four minute milers in the last 9 years truly bring glory to the world? How is there not one awoken to the plight of running, of all these issues staining the fount of running glory? Conceit and irresponsibility and self serving ways, without end. Did you ever think, to purify yourselves and be instructed and educated fully, before taking the office of greatness, that is passing the Rubicon of time milestones? Any of you? Fools.

half phlip-half american:
3:55.42
of course, you're probably not counting russians...
While that is impressive, this post was specifically asking for Americans.
hey cush, since my brother in law is hawaiian, perhaps you already know the answer to this: what happens when a hawaiian moves to the mainland, meets a filipino, and they have a kid....

Good one.

They also don't glamorize middle distances and focus little on it.
That said, they are much better at almost every distance (from 100m to marathon) currently than any white americans (all of whom use PEDs - Jagger et al just like Armstrong).
Why are their national records slower than the best times produced by white Americans?
Lemme guess - drugs, right?
looool

The best Japanese HS school teams will beat the best NCAA Div 1 teams in 5k or 10k and if they focused on the 800m or mile, they would do the same. In Japan, there is little incentive to run after College if you have a corporate job lined up.
THe fastest 100m HS school runners in the world are in Japan right now. If they wanted to run 3:5x miles, they would do it. THis isnt a distance that matters for them. Japanese are all about extremes - 100m and marathon. THe mile holds no allure.
Too bad all that success doesn't talent into many medals at the world championships & Olympic Games.
