census

[Terrance]

The minimum categories
for race are now: American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian;
Black or African
American; Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander; and
White. Instead of
allowing a multiracial category as was originally suggested
in public and
congressional hearings, the OMB adopted the Interagency
Committee's
recommendation to allow respondents to select one or more
races when they
self-identify. With the OMB's approval, the Census 2000
questionnaires also include
a sixth racial category: Some Other Race. There are also two
minimum categories
for ethnicity: Hispanic or Latino and Not Hispanic or
Latino. Hispanics and Latinos
may be of any race. 

There are apx. 270, 000,000 people living here. Apx.
16,000,000 are black men, but may put this number lower and
the total population higher, so black men would be around
5-6%.
