| | Although the Census Bureau has traditionally used more categories for decennial censuses, those categories collapsed into the four minimum race categories identified by the OMB, plus the category Some Other Race. | | | Instead of allowing a multiracial category as was originally suggested in public and congressional hearings, the OMB adopted the Interagency Committee's recommendation to allow respondents to select one or more races when they self-identify. | | | In response to legislative, programmatic, and administrative requirements of the federal government, the OMB in 1977 issued Statistical Policy Directive Number 15, "Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting." In these standards, four racial categories were established: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black, and White. |

| | The point is, that no single ethnic/cultural/racial variable by itself is sufficient to give us a reasonably valid estimate of the composition of either of these types of population, or the opportunity to examine the effects of the integrative and assimilative processes which Canadian immigrants experience. | | | Whether you agree in whole, or in part, with any of the above statements, or their implication for your future research, the possible reduction in the number of ethnic/cultural variables (especially the ethnic origin question) for which data traditionally have been collected by the national census, is something that we must try to prevent. | | | While this variable, provides a clue as to the possible ancestry or origins of the second generation, it alone doesn't provide clues regarding the ancestry of the third and subsequent generations. |
