Race and ethnicity in the United States Census, as defined by the United States Census Bureau and the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB), are self-identification data items in which residents choose the race or races with which they most closely identify, and indicate whether or not they are of Hispanic or Latino origin (ethnicity). The racial categories represent a social-political construct designed for the race or races that respondents consider themselves to be and "generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country." The OMB defines the concept of race as outlined for the US Census as not "scientific or anthropological" and takes into account "social and cultural characteristics as well as ancestry" using "appropriate scientific methodologies" but not "primarily biological or genetic in reference." Race and ethnicity are considered separate and distinct identities, with Hispanic or Latino origin asked as a separate question. Thus, in addition to their race or races, all respondents are categorized by membership in one of two ethnicities, which are "Hispanic or Latino" and "Not Hispanic or Latino". In 1997, OMB issued a Federal Register Notice which provided revised racial and ethnic definitions. Census 2000From Wikipedia under the

Q. Dr. Venter s statements were emphatically backed by Dr. Joseph L. Graves Jr., author of The Emperor s New Clothes: Biological Theories of Race at Millennium," in a recent New York Times interview. "Possibly only six genes determine the color of a person s skin," Graves, a professor of evolutionary biology and African-American Studies at Arizona University, said in the Times interview. Six genes, out of the 30,000 to 40,000 genes that make us human, determine race. Graves further asserted what genome researches have been uncovering over several years as the mapping project has wound down: as far as biology is concerned, race doesn t exist.

Actually, race does exist on the biological level. That is why you can take a cell sample from any individual, and be able to tell that person's race from that sample. Certain individuals have an agenda to push, so they advocate pseudoscience like the "no such thing as race" theory. Just take a look at some of the bullcrap written there. It talks about race being defined as skin color. Well race is not only skin color. If that were the case, then the KKK would allow albino blacks into their ranks, which they don't. Race is much more than skin color. Also, the part saying a black man from Manhattan is probably more genetically similar to a white man than he is to a black man from Nigeria only proves that the way we label race may not be… [cont.] Answered by Spuddy - Sat Jun 6 16:26:37 2009 Should the U.S. government limit immigration from all countries except those in Africa? Q. As they seem to contribute more the development of the U.S. than virtually any other migrant demographic: " "Immigrant blacks," who come from families who have emigrated from the West Indies or Africa (mostly Ghana or Nigeria), make up 41 percent of Ivy League schools, according to a 2007 study by Princeton and University of Pennsylvania researchers. In contrast, black immigrants only make up 13 percent of the black population of 18-19 year olds in the United States." " There are only about 880,000 African immigrants residing in the U.S., but they are a highly educated group, with census figures showing that they are more likely to have a college degree (43.8 percent do) than Asian-Americans (42.5 percent) or the U.S. population as a… [cont.] Asked by These Blue Hills - Tue Dec 15 16:40:35 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments List of future improvements to the world?

Here is a larger view on mankind's continual progress on earth. First will come one standard world language of English, with many words from other languages being added as expanded "English". Maybe in one hundred or less years. Then one world race will be largely achieved; this mixed race will be superior to today's nine somewhat blended races. Life expectancy will increase to several hundred years on average. Maybe in a few hundred more years. Then one planetary government of all people, by all people, and for all people will be established and well functional. Maybe in one or two more thousand years. Then one planetary and universe supernal philosophy and religion will happen in a few thousand to 50,000 (maximum) more years.
