Using race to describe the population of the United States is difficult as race involves the combination of physical attributes in a population. Many people identify with ethnicity as it is a choice whereas race is assigned. Race involves skin color choices such as Black,White,American Indian,Asian and Pacific Islander,Other,or two or more races. These choices are obviously very limiting and are not an accurate representation of the population of the United States. What constitutes a race has also changed as before 2000 the census counted "Hispanic" a race and has since been removed.
