Explanation:

1. For "The percentage of the population that claimed Asian heritage increased between 1970 and 2010": Typically, demographic data shows that the Asian - American population percentage has increased over time (e.g., from around 1% - 2% in 1970 to around 4% - 5% or more by 2010, though exact numbers depend on data, but the trend of increase is consistent with historical demographic trends). So this statement is likely supported.
2. For "In 2010, 15 percent of people in the US were of Asian descent": According to US Census data, the percentage of Asian - Americans in 2010 was about 4.8% (not 15%), so this statement is not supported.
3. For "In 1990, more than 10 percent of the US population had Latin American ancestry": In 1990, the percentage of Hispanic/Latin American population in the US was about 9% (less than 10%), so this statement is not supported.

Answer:

• The percentage of the population that claimed Asian heritage increased between 1970 and 2010.
