...Racial Diversity: Historical Worksheet Throughout most of the history of the United States, the majority race in most locations has been White, also referred to as Caucasian or White American. Of the White American race, there are two separate ethnic origins defined by the United States Census Bureau that a person may belong to – Hispanic or Non-Hispanic. A White Hispanic person is defined as a “citizen or resident who is racially white and of Hispanic descent”. The ancestral backgrounds that most members of the White Non-Hispanic racial group share are Europe, the Middle East, and North African, while those of Hispanic descent have ancestors from Spain or Latin America and Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa (United States Census Bureau, 2012). Two of the larger racial minority groups in U.S. history are Black or African Americans, comprising about 12.5% of the population, and Asian Americans who make up about 4.5% of the population.

Since the 1970’s, there has been a growing population within the Black American racial group who originate in Jamaica, Haiti, and Barbados. Black Americans have been a significant minority group since the early 1900’s. Asian Americans typically share ancestral backgrounds in China, the Philippines, Vietnam,...

Lim June 5, 2013 Throughout most of U.S. history, in most locations, what race has been in the majority? What is the common ancestral background of most members of this group? According to "The Changing Racial And Ethnic Composition Of The Us Population" In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the classification by race expanded to include the measurement of “mulattos”—persons of mixed black and white ancestry—and the “blood quantum” (percent of white ancestry) of American Indians.

In 1930, Mexicans were added to the growing list of “nonwhites.” Fearing the move as an effort to stigmatize (and possibly deny naturalization to) Mexican Americans by labeling them a nonwhite racial group, the Mexican American population (and the Mexican government) strongly protested the change, and the racial category was soon disavowed by the director of the Census Bureau What are some of the larger racial minorities in U.S. history?
