For people who identified as Hispanic, the increase was even higher. The spike sent demographers scrambling. Was the reason simply that more multiracial babies were being born? Or that Americans were rethinking their identities? Or had a design change in this year’s census form caused the sudden, unexpected shift? The answer, it seems, is all of the above. Multiracial Americans are still a relatively small part of the population — just 4 percent — but the increase over the decade was substantial and, the data shows, often surprising in its geography. The number of Americans who identified as non-Hispanic and more than one race jumped to 13.5 million from 6 million. The largest increase in non-Hispanic Americans of two or more races was in Oklahoma, followed by Alaska and Arkansas. Americans who were mixed race recorded a wide range of identities. People who identified themselves as both white and Asian made up about 18 percent of the total number of non-Hispanic multiracial Americans in 2020. Those who reported their race as both white and Black accounted for 20.5 percent. Americans who were both white and Native American were 26 percent of the total, according to Andrew Beveridge, who founded Social Explorer, a data analytics company. Part of the rise in people identifying as multiracial was simply the growing diversity of the American population. As the newest immigrants, largely from Asia and Latin America, have children and grandchildren, and those Americans form families, they are much more likely to marry outside their racial or ethnic groups than their parents were. Among newlywed Hispanic people who were born in the United States, about 39 percent marry someone who is not Hispanic, according to the Pew Research Center. For Asian people, that number is about the same.

Census categories are complicated, because race and its boundaries change over time based on shifts in culture and society. Some argue the census can leave the impression that race is a fixed, naturally occurring category that can be neatly counted. Until 2000, the Census Bureau only recognized one response for race. Michael Watson of the Bronx is the son of a Jamaican mother and a Puerto Rican father of Scottish and Bajan descent. He welcomes the Census Bureau’s attempt to capture Americans’ identities more precisely.Ben Zucker for The New York Times For Michael Watson, 38, the son of a Jamaican mother and a Puerto Rican father of Scottish and Bajan descent, one box was not enough.

Last year’s census form differed substantially from the one in 2010, Rachel Marks, chief of the racial statistics branch at the Census Bureau, said in an interview. Lines were added under the boxes for Black and for white, where respondents could describe in more nuance their racial backgrounds. Coding capacity improved too, capturing far more detail in people’s written answers than before. Some of those changes, she said, contributed to the rise in the numbers of people who identified as more than one race — though precisely what share, she could not say. [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-2) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi-idZP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9NzI4Njk5JmxpPVJSJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1SUl8yMDIxMDgxNFcDbnl0QgphFVmiF2FN9OuYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ Demographic change was a factor too, though she said it was impossible to say how much of the dramatic growth it accounted for. Asked whether part of the decline in the number of people who identified as non-Hispanic white was related to the changes in the form, Ms. Marks said she could not “say for sure one way or another.” “We’re still digging into the data,” she said. “I think these improvements and changes could have also contributed to that. But it’s certainly a trend we’ve been seeing for the past several decades.” The result was a much more nuanced — and accurate — portrait of how Americans see themselves, social scientists said, even if part of the spike in the multiracial category was as much about reclassification as it was about real growth. Richard Alba, a sociologist who has written about race categorization and the census, said that typically, a large share of Hispanic Americans check the box for white in the race question. Now, he said, they were given the chance to describe their backgrounds more fully, an addition, he said, that could have flipped them into the multiracial category. “That’s not a change in social reality, that’s a change in the way social reality is being categorized,” he said. “In the long run we will probably be able to say more precisely to what extent is there a real change and to what extent is this a coding change.” However, the coding change was not simply a statistical blip. It was a meaningful widening of options people had to say who they felt they were. Ruby Herrera, 28, can testify to the frustration of being asked to fit herself neatly into just one racial category. She remembers feeling different from most other children when she was in grade school and had to fill out a form indicating her identity. Ms. Herrera’s mother is white, from Wisconsin, and her father is from Mexico. She loved speaking two languages and knowing that she belonged to two cultures. But her teacher advised her to just pick one. “For me as a 7-year-old kid, I was like I can’t just pick one,” she said. “What do you mean? Which one do I pick? If I pick one, does that mean I’m not the other? None of my classmates understood why I was so upset.” [Read the rest of the article [here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi-idZP0TeaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wOC8xMy91cy9jZW5zdXMtbXVsdGlyYWNpYWwtaWRlbnRpdHkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zNyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ycl8yMDIxMDgxNCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zNzk0MyZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjYyNzMmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmEVWaIXYU3065hSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

This work, most of which was completed by Lewis and his team of collaborators before he died in the summer of 2020, picks up where “March” left off, with the civil rights movement winning important legislative gains in the 1960s but still very much unfinished in its aims. There’s a timeliness to “Run,” a reminder that the efforts to keep prospective voters from casting their ballots that are so much in the headlines these days are nothing new. It turns out the animus that drives so much of our nation’s history is well suited to this form. One encounters in the arresting artwork of “Run” beady eyes, angry grimaces, looks of anguish and defiance. “Now git!” says the finger-pointing, scowling white man who emerges from a whites-only church in the opening pages to tell a young Lewis to end his protest of the segregated services inside. No need to go on and on about his disdain for those born with more melanin in their skin or his hypocrisy in praying to the Lord while acting devilish.
