more+than+one+race

People can be more then just one race people can be many races. It can depend on where you live, or it can also be determined if a man and a women from two different races get married and have children those children can be of two different races. Studies show from the 2000 census that 1 out of 10 black men married a white women. The statistics for every census gets higher and higher for a man and a woman of two different races getting married as the years go by. For instance, about what I said before people when people are from and have grown up in different places can have a bigger chance of being of two races or more just by depending on where they are from like people who are from New Jersey 2.5% of the people can have a bigger chance of being more than one race and then people who lived in Mississippi there were only .7 percent that actually more than one race. It is very hard to figure out if people actually belong to more then just one race because people can have the chracteristics of the different races. Being able to be different races can also depend on the age of a person because the young people have a higher possiblity of being more then one race then the older people in the US.

Do you believe you could be more than one race? Well 7 million people did in 2000. They believe that they could be by the way that they looked or the way that they talked, or who their parents were but by looking at someone doesn't mean we can tell exactly [|what their race is]. There is an endless amount of different types of catagories of people in the world, but for the Census in 2000 people they only could choose from six different choices and what if they thought they didn't belong to one of them what would happen and some people would be able to choose all six boxes because they believed to be apart of each. Also in this people also thought they were some other race than what was listed. The six boxes that were listed were white, black, Asian, [|American Indian], or Pacific Islander and then some people choose the other race.

Ok so just by looking at these people can you tell the race they are? Some of them could be more than one race.

Tables from the 2000 Census

[] People can be more than one race but from this table in the year 2000 it seems that most people think that they are white and some other race. White is mostly in all of the combinations. This table was written it discusses the facts about people in 2000 and how many of those people are more then one race. As you can probably see in the table it only applies to people of two races but there are people that can be more. Also by looking a the table it is really a mix of mostly white and another race. There are only a few that don't have white in the mix, so most of the people in the world are some kind of white even if they might not look like it. People might have a little bit of some race in them that they don't even now that they have.

There is a very small number of people in the US that are for sure more than one race. If you look at the percent of the population it is a very small percent of the people, so alot of people in the world are not more than one race but if you just look at the numbers of people it is alot but not when compared to the US whole population. The most percentage of people were the people that were white and some other race and that was around 2 million people. Then the lowest percentage of people were Blacks and Asians but if you just look at it as a number you can see it is alot of people but to the [|ratio of people in the US] it isn't alot. Also from this table you can see that probably the majority of people in the US aren't more than one race.

In this table it shows people also from the year 2000 that are spilt up into how many races they are by their gender and their age. Most people when they are born are more then one race but less people when they are older are not as many races as young children. From this chart it seems that people when their older can't be more then one race like young children can. Do people just lose some of the races their born with and lose them over time or is it just at this one time that people were that different in how many races they were. The chart as you go up in age people have less and less of a chance of being more than one race. Also in the chart men and women who are the same age are pretty even of being more then one race. Also in this chart it shows that at some ages all the people in that age columum in the US are more than one race.

As I continue on doing this project I would like to find more information from Census 10 years before this last one and also find some predictions to what possibly could be the outcome to the Census in 2010 and how much the change has been in people since 2000. I would also like to expand my reasearch by finding speeches that people have made about this topic and read about them. Also I will probably find more charts and graphs of people of different races. Maybe also see if there is a higher amount of people in the US or somewhere else that are more than one race.
