Add something else to the list of things that seem simple but are actually complicated \u2013 the way someone reports their race or ethnicity.

With over 160 million cases covering all U.S. race and ethnicity groups we found that 6.1% of people in the (not-nationally-representative) data had a different race or ethnic response in 2010 than they did in 2000.<\/p>\n

These response changes represent changes between the federally-defined major race groups (multiple responses allowed in both years): white, black or African American (\u201cblack\u201d here), American Indian or Alaska Native (\u201cAmerican Indian\u201d), Asian, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander (\u201cPacific Islander\u201d), or the residual category of Some Other Race. Or they were changes between the two defined ethnicity groups: Hispanic\/Latino and non-Hispanic\/Latino (\u201cHispanic\u201d and \u201cnon-Hispanic\u201d).We used strict case selection to assure that responses were given by the person or a household member (not allocated, imputed, gathered from a potentially unreliable source, or signaling an incorrect match)…<\/p>\n
