• W618854920 abstract "this presentation, we introduce the idea that different definitions of being multiracial and attitudes toward acknowledging mixed-raced origins might have affected the 2000 census enumeration of the multiracial population. How multiracial people self-identify and how society identifies multiracial people has become an escalating debate among many people. Because more Americans than ever are claiming their multiracial heritages, how they deal with the category, or other restrictions to answering race and ethnicity questions (Please check only one) is one of the most compelling issues in society today. Nina Grant Director of Minority Programs, College of Agriculture, Iowa State University Cecilia Olivares Graduate Assistant, Minority Student Affairs, Iowa State University When the 2000 census allowed Americans for the first time to describe themselves as belonging to any combination of listed races, the multiracial population of the United States has become visible in new ways. The nation's racial demography is no longer mapped solely in terms of discrete, mutually exclusive categories and our official statistics have revealed a sizeable number of people who do not fit neatly into a single box. 2.4 percent of the nation's 281.4 million people used more than one race to describe themselves. An overwhelming majority of the 6.8 million multiracial Americans, 93 percent reported that they were of two races; 823 people checked all six race categories. The majority of people who claimed two or more races chose four categories: 32 percent said they were white and some other race, 16 percent said they where white and American Indian or Alaska Native, 13 percent marked white and Asian and 11 percent responded as white and black or African-American. (U. S. Census Bureau, 2000) The multiracial category is likely to grow in the coming years due to the percentage of children who were reported to be multiracial being up three times greater than that of adults (U. S. Census Bureau, 2000). They now account for 4 percent of all children under 18, twice the percentage of multiracial adults (U. S. Census Bureau, 2000). The fuel for the increasing multiracial child population is the boom in interracial marriages. There are 1.6 million interracial married couples today, 10 times as many as in 1960 (Tolerance.org, 2001). Some analysts believe this number will grow as Asian-Americans and Hispanics who have higher intermarriage rates than whites and blacks continue to make up an increased percentage of the overall population. Anticipating this shift in awareness, the media has already produced many articles that prominently refer to the mixed racial origins of celebrities and to predictions that multiracial ancestry will become a common feature of American society. For example, a 1999 U.S.A. Today article begins: In the future, lots of us will be like Mariah Carey. Or Soledad O'Brien. Or Tiger Woods...As a new millennium looms, America is set to become more a nation of blended races and ethnic groups than it has ever been (U.S.A." @default.
