File:Ethnicity and race in censuses.png
Map showing countries where the ethnicity or race of people was enumerated in at least one census since 1991.

Many countries and national censuses currently enumerate or have previously enumerated their populations by race, ethnicity, nationality, or a combination of these characteristics.[1][2] Different countries have different classifications and census options for race and ethnicity/nationality which are not comparable with data from other countries.[1][3] In addition, many of the race and ethnicity concepts that appear on national censuses worldwide have their origins in Europe or in the views of Europeans, rather than in the views of the locals of these countries.[4]

The Portuguese asked about race in colonial censuses when they controlled Angola, and they provided three options: White, Mestizo, or African/Black. Africans had to then pick either "Assimilado" (assimilated) or "Indigenato" (indigenous).[5] Angola has not used any racial categories since its independence in 1975.[5] Tribe and language for Africans were recorded only in 1950 and 1960.[5]

Somalia

In the pre-independence period in Somalia, the colonial administrations in British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland officially classified the ethnic Somali majority within the two territories as "Hamitic".[25][26] The Italian Somaliland census of 1935 reported that the remaining 6.2% of the area's population consisted of "Negroid groups", including the Bantu ethnic minorities inhabiting the southern riverine region.[27] These census designations were at the time pre-assigned rather than based on self-reporting. Following independence in 1960, no official census was taken until 1975. This first post-independence national census only collected information on district of birth.[28] However, the general government literature maintained that the country's ethnic Somali majority was of Hamitic stock, or alternately of Arab heritage.[29] Similarly, Article 3 of the Provision Constitution adopted in 2012 indicates that Somalia is an Arab nation.[30] In 2014, the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation also announced that it would release a new national population census before 2016.[31]

The Russian Empire began counting people by native tongue with its first modern census in 1897.[40] In 1920, the Soviet Union replaced this question with a question about ethnicity.[68] The Soviet government organized lists of ethnicities and wanted to shape these various ethnic groups in the mold of Communism.[69] In the words of Soviet politician Anastas Mikoyan, the Soviet Union was "creating and organising new nations"[69] The government of the U.S.S.R. was eager to get ethnic data for many ethnic groups in order to create republics and autonomous regions for many of these ethnic groups and nationalities, and later on (under Joseph Stalin) in order to deport some of them.[70][71] The Bolsheviks also wanted to get more support from ethnic minority groups within the Soviet Union, many of whom were previously oppressed under Tsarist rule.[71] The Soviet Union continued to ask about ethnicity for the rest of its existence, and Russia also asked about ethnicity in its two post-Soviet censuses of 2002 and 2010.[72] Unlike in 1989, the 2002 census did not require respondents to prove their ethnicity/nationality when they responded to this question.[73] The number of ethnicity/nationality options available on Soviet censuses was enormous—the Soviet Union offered 194 different choices for ethnicity/nationality in its 1926 census.[74] There were 97 options in 1939, 126 options in 1959, 122 options in 1970, 123 options in 1979, and 128 options for the Soviet Union in 1989.[74] There were 192 ethnicity/nationality options for Russia in 2002.[74]

France

France has not counted individuals by race or ethnicity since at least 1978, when a law was passed that prevented individuals from being enumerated by these categories without their consent or a state committee waiver.[102][103] The reasons for this are that many French people consider asking people about race and ethnicity to be a contradiction of their principle of equality and equal treatment for all French people.[42] Also, there is a desire to avoid repeating what Vichy France did in regards to its Jewish population and to prevent the National Front from getting more popularity.[42][102] Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his administration supported and proposed counting French people by race and ethnicity.[104] Due to criticism, however, this proposal was never implemented, and as of 2013 former French President Francois Hollande opposes enumerating people by race and ethnicity.[105]

People in Ukraine (when it was still a part of the Russian Empire) were enumerated by native tongue in the 1897 Russian Empire Census.[40][41] In addition to the Soviet Union enumerating people by ethnicity for its entire existence,[42] Ukraine also enumerated people by ethnicity in its only post-Soviet census in 2001.[149]

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom began counting people by ethnicity in 1991.[150] There eventually became more of an interest in enumerating ethnic minorities after large-scale racial minority immigration to the United Kingdom began in the post-World War II era.[151] The United Kingdom previously planned to enumerate people by ethnicity in 1981, but changed its mind after the large non-response rate to this question in the 1979 Test Census. In 1979, many ethnic minorities refused to answer this question due to the fear of deportation.[152] In the 2011 census, the ethnic group options for England and Wales were White, Mixed, Asian British, Black British, Chinese or other ethnic group, and Not stated, with ethnic origin sub-group choices for most of these.[153] The census in the United Kingdom also included a question on country of citizenship between 1851 and 1961.[4]

Panama

Panama has enumerated people by ethnicity from the 1970 census all the way up to its most recent census in 2010.[6][168] People in the then-United States-controlled Panama Canal Zone were numerated by ethnicity in 1950 and 1960.[6]

The plurality (not majority) ethnic ancestry in each county in the United States of America

Before the U.S. acquired independence from Great Britain, many of the Thirteen Colonies conducted censuses of their own where they enumerated their populations by race.[169][170] The United States as a whole enumerated people by race in every census since its first census in 1790.[171] Part of the reason why the United States began counting people by race much sooner than many other countries was due to the Three Fifths Compromise, which determined the amount of representation that Southern states had based on how many slaves they had (slaves were counted as three-fifths of a person for representation purposes, and a new census every ten years was needed to enumerate the current slave population).[172] Initially, the United States Census only counted Americans as either white or black, with blacks classified as either free or slaves until 1860 (slavery in the United States was abolished in 1865).[173] Over time, the United States has also added some other racial categories as well.[173] Asian and Native American categories were added in 1860.[173] However, the first census to enumerate all Native Americans occurred in 1890.[173] Before that point Native Americans living on reservations were not counted, and thus most Native Americans in the U.S. were not counted in census data before 1890.[173] Between 1850 and 1870, and in 1890, 1910, and 1920, the U.S. Census Bureau also enumerated Mulattoes and sometimes other partially black groups (Quadroons and Octoroons) separately.[173]

The U.S. Census Bureau counted Mexicans as a separate race in 1930[174] and tried to retroactively determine the number of Mexicans in the U.S. in 1910 and 1920 as well.[173]

President Franklin D. Roosevelt promoted a "good neighbor" policy that sought better relations with Mexico. In 1935, a federal judge ruled that three Mexican immigrants were ineligible for citizenship because they were not white, as required by federal law. Mexico protested, and Roosevelt decided to circumvent the decision and make sure the federal government treated Hispanics as white. The State Department, the Census Bureau, the Labor Department, and other government agencies therefore made sure to uniformly classify people of Mexican descent as white. This policy encouraged the League of United Latin American Citizens in its quest to minimize discrimination by asserting their whiteness.[175]

Hispanics were counted as whites in 1940, but for the first time ever, the U.S. made an attempt to measure the size of the Hispanic population that year.[173] The U.S. resumed enumerating its Hispanic/Latino population in 1970, with Hispanics being enumerated in every U.S. census since then.[173] The U.S. Census Bureau also began offering Hispanics several sub-group options from which they could identify themselves, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, et cetera (these Hispanic sub-group options have changed over time).[176][177] The Other race category was added in 1950, and in 2000 multi-race responses were tabulated for the first time (instructions now explicitly inform respondents that they can choose multiple race boxes).[173] Because multiracial respondents are now allowed, U.S. Census data since 2000 is not directly comparable with that of previous censuses.[173] While people nowadays are enumerated by race based on self-identification, until 1950 their race on the census was mainly determined by their census enumerator.[173] During this time multiracial people who were White and of another race were usually marked down as belonging to the other race due to the One drop rule.[173] The instructions provided to enumerators endorsed this practice.

It is worth noting that some of the definitions of race in the United States changed over time. For instance, Indian Americans were previously marked as Hindu in 1920–1940, Other race in 1950–1960, and White in 1970 before being marked as Asian (Indian) since 1980.[173] The U.S. census counted certain Asian ethnic groups separately since 1870, initially counting only Chinese and Japanese, but having other categories as well since 1910.[173] It only began counting all people by ethnic ancestry since the 1980 census, though.[178] In addition to a Hispanic/Latino ethnicity question that has appeared on the census short form since 1980 (based on the US Office of Management and Budget's official categories specified in 1977). In addition, at various times the Census Bureau has also used an ancestry question. Before 1970, Alaska and Hawaii had different choices for race on their censuses in contrast to the continental United States.[173]

The United States has also used language as a way to classify people by race or ethnicity.[179] From 1910 to 1940, the Census recorded the mother tongue of the foreign-born population and their children.[180] In 1960 and 1970 the Census Bureau also used mother tongue to classify respondents by ethnicity, but the definition of mother tongue was not consistent. Since 1980, the Census Bureau has tabulated language spoken at home for people aged five or older.[181]

The 2020 United States Census might allow Middle Easterners and North Africans to write in their ethnicity/race instead of merely marking them as White.[182][183] Right now, and in the past, Arabs have been marked in the U.S. Census as White.[182] This began in the early twentieth century when Arabs coming to the United States successfully petitioned to be marked as White in order to avoid entry quotas and have a greater chance of achieving success and avoiding discrimination.[182][184]

The United States is one of the countries that uses racial and ethnic census data in order to create minority-majority districts, as is required by the 1965 Voting Rights Act.[185] These districts were created in order to increase minority representation in the United States Congress following the end of legal segregation and racial discrimination in the Southern United States.[185]

Since 1850, the United States enumerated its population by their country of birth of its population.[186] The whole U.S. population was enumerated by country of birth between 1850 and 1930 and again from 1960 to the present day.[186] Meanwhile, only the White population of the United States was enumerated by their country of birth in 1940 and 1950.[186]

Bolivia enumerated people by ethnicity in 1950,[6] 2001,[191] and 2012.[6][192] The 2012 census included 40 ethnic group options.[192] However, it did not include Mestizo as an option, which critics of current Bolivian President Evo Morales say was because he wants more Bolivians to identify as one of the indigenous groups in order to lend more legitimacy to his indigenous-friendly policies.[192]
