Here is an interesting fact:
From the post Civil War era until the year 2000, the US government did not recognize "mixed race". The 2000 census was the first time that a person could check that designation and list the races in the space provided.
Prior to 2000, "mixed race" was not an option on the Census form. If one checked "other" and filled in "black-white"...that person was counted as black....if filled in "white-black"...that person was counted as white.
