Should census bureau reconsider the way it measures race and ethnicity for the census?
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".

What is the most common Jewish sect in America?
Since the United States Census does not ask what type of Jew a person is in conducting its surveys, it is difficult to get a proper read on numbers. If you were to count synagogues alone, it would appear that the Orthodox are the most common sect, but since they must all walk to the synagogues on Shabbat, their congregations are typically smaller than Conservative or Reform congregations.
To hazard a guess, it would be that Reform Jews are currently the most numerous denomination; but Hasidic birth rates show that this will shift to the Orthodox relatively soon. Conservative Judaism was the most popular form of Judaism in the early part of the century, but has lost that position.

What year did blacks begin being counted in the federal census?
Well, the 14th Amendment (Citizenship Rights & Due Process) was ratified in 1868, so that ended the prior three-fifths-of-a-person rule for African Americans. Since a census is conducted every ten (10) years by the federal government, the next census would have been in 1870, so that would be the first year African Americans were counted as a whole person. However, if you would like to be technical, then they were counted as three-fifths of a person in the first census in 1790.
