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: "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. In the case of Barak Obama...why is it that gets to declare himself as "African American" when he is multiracial? Who makes these rules? Tiger Woods is proud to be the person he is. Barack could learn much from him. from an article: During the recent political primary elections, the 'talking heads' referred to Barack Obama as possibly the first black president. This puzzles and outrages me. Why? Because calling Barack Obama black is denouncing his Caucasian ancestry. This is racial discrimination of a different kind, but none-the-less racial discrimination. His mother, maternal grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins back several generations are Caucasian. His father is black.
