How have racial categories for African Americans and other groups changed over the years?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should discuss that The Census Bureau continues to add ethnic categories as new immigrants that, for now, fall under one of the following primary categories: Whites, Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Native Hawaiian), and others. The Census Bureau notes that Hispanic origins are "not racial." Considering this, it asks people of Hispanic origin to identity their place of origin (such as Cuba or Mexico). The census has changed in other ways, as well. In the 1960s, the Census Bureau mailed its form to urban residences and for the first time respondents could choose their racial identity. This was important for giving people agency to self-identity, but it may also have produced more accurate information.
