The term used by the U.S. Census Bureau as a synonym for the white race is "Caucasian."
Hispanic
You have to be more specific... I don't believe Gypsy's are listed, but I think they usually claim to be a separate race... Not sure though...
The Census Bureau does constantly reconsider the way it measures race and ethnicity for the U.S. Census.The 2010 U.S. Census changed the design to more clearly Hispanic ethnicity as an ethnic category, not a race. This sentence was added: "For this census, Hispanic origins are not races."Hispanic terms were modified from "Hispanic or Latino" to "Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin".
Caucasian
The rising amount of multiracial people caused the census bureau to allow this in order to better understand the population.
Asian
Persians typically consider themselves to be WHITE and are considered as such by the US Census Bureau. However, most laypeople will argue that Iranians are not White, but either Olive/Mediterranean or Brown.

First, it is important to note that the US Census Bureau is constantly refining their questions to fit an ever-changing population. For example, the first US Census 1790 only included "White" and "Black" (no matter the degree of "whiteness" or "blackness". By 1850, the designations White or Black was refined to also include "Mullato", which was a subjective assessment the Census-taker made of a person's degree of "blackness".Wikipedia includes a long list of Race designations used in the 2010 Census. Here is one part of this list from their website: "The 23rd federal census, 2010[18]asks one ethnic and one race question (questions 1-4 not reproduced here, questions 5 and 6 paraphrased):Is the person of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin?

In the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the majority of welfare recipients are white. However, when considering the percentage of each racial group that receives welfare relative to their population size, African Americans have a higher likelihood of being on welfare compared to other racial groups.
