If it makes you feel better, you're not alone - middle eastern is never broken out either. In fact - we're grouped with white people. Some of us are white passing - some of us are very much not. Fun article about it... https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-census-middle-east-no...

They don't care about you because you're not a politically influential demographic. Notice how the demographic that dominates this debate is the second most privileged and influential demographic in the country: white women; yet they are portrayed as being some powerless minority.

It's always powerful demographics fighting each other. Nobody cares about the actual minorities that have no representation. That is almost tautological.
