U.S. Census Form - Caribbean Race

[Peasie]

My census form arrived today. For question 9 <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;What is Person 1's race?</span> I am going to check <span style="font-weight: bold">some other race</span> and type in <span style="font-weight: bold">Caribbean American</span>.

In the US the three definitions of black represent at least three generations of terms of how blacks are represented in the US. The census wanted to cover all bases.
