2000 US Census Quotes

The Office of Management and Budget "is required to use a minimum of two ethnicities: Hispanic or Latino or not Hispanic or Latino"

"The O.M.G. defines Hispanic or Latino as 'a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race."

"The federal government considers race and Hispanic origin to be two separate and distinct concepts."

"Hispanics who reported their race as Black (or any race), either alone or in combination with one or more races, are included in numbers for Blacks (that race)."
