OT: Census "race" question

Hispanic is an ethnicity per hte US goverment. Race is seperate. Teh standard US government races are:CaucasainAfricanAmerican Indian/Pacific Islander- which does cover Maya Indian from Central AmericaAsianOther- where other can be how you choose to categorise you or your child. These are meant to be self reported- there is no right or wrong. So for example- for my son- if I reported based on the interview with his birth mother at referral- I would reportCaucasian (she used the term Ladino to describe her race) and I would also indicate Guatemalan under #5. If I use the information from the birht mother search reportI would check:caucasianAfrican American IndianI would indicate Guatemalan under #5 If you are not sure- you can indicate "Multi" #6 under other. I hope this helps
