What is the ethnic composition in USA?

Answer 1

In 2009 the US Census Bureau reports the following:

White alone, 74.8% or 229.8 million

Black (or African American) alone, 12.4% or 38.1 million

Some other race alone, 4.9% or 14.9 million*

Asian alone, 4.5% or 13.8 million

Two or more races, 2.4% or 7.5 million

American Indian or Native Alaskan (Native American) alone, .8% or 2.5 million

Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander alone, .15% or .454 million

*Some other race alone is not a standard race category but the option is offered on the census form and many different designations are written in.

These statistics are based on the 2000 census. These ethnic designations are self reported, selected by the person(s) completing the census form.
