Go to this website:\nwww.naacp.org\n\nFor Race &Ethnicity http://www.wsu.edu/~amerstu/pop/race.html\n\nHopefully, you can find enough info on these too sites to write your paper.

A small town isn't going to cut it with this paper. Depending on where you'd live, I'd research cities in your area to see which ones have the most diversity. (I've found stuff on Google before). Then you're going to have to make at least a few different contacts of different races in this city, gather questions for an interview, and then ask them your questions. It's going to take some work, but once you get the ball rolling it'll all fall together.

The following page on the US Census website contains race data from the 2000 census:\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/population/cen2000/phc-t1/tab01.pdf

I believe that at this point it is 34% and climbing.  Census experts say that by 2010 California will have a majority of Latinos and Caucasians will be the minority...California will be brown like it was originally! Viva la Raza!

OK, first of all, race is all in your head. The differences among members of a so-called "race" are greater than the differences between one so-called race and another. \n\nOn the other hand, racism is very real behavior, even if the differences between races that inspire racism have no scientific basis. In an effort to track the success of government efforts to combat racism, the US federal government has established five official races: \n\n1) American Indian or Alaskan Native\n2) Asian\n3) Black or African American\n4) Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, \n5) White \n\nThe US federal government also recognizes two official ethnicities: \n\nA) Hispanic or Latino\nB) Not Hispanic or Latino\n\nThe definititions for these groups are found in the first link listed below in the "Sources" section. \n\nNow, if you ask people who they are, they either have a tough time putting themselves in these categories, or they don't. Folks in Hawaii often have such complex backgrounds (Portuguese-Hawaiian-Chinese, for instance), that they just shrug and check a box. If you ask them about it, they might say, "It's just a form. It doesn't have anything to do with who I am." On the other hand, children with one Black parent and one White parent find this kind of form much more difficult. \n\nVery often though, even the folks who are pretty sure they belong to just one of these groups are wrong. Recent DNA research suggests that about one-third of White Americans have some fairly recent African ancestry. The Black population in the US seems to have an even greater degree of European and African ancestry. One study looked for known genes with an African origin in the DNA of Black individuals in the US and found none of them in about 5.5% of their sample of that population. \n\nEach of the categories you list has people whose ancestors came from many different countries. The best way to tell who is what is to ask each individual. The US government used to give pictures of eye and nose shape to its census workers to help them tell the difference among races, which is a ridiculous approach. It is much simpler and accurate to merely ask the person.  That's the best truth you will ever get.

The BIG APPLE IS THE MOST MULTI- CULTURAL\n\nNYC-8,085,742 people\n\n44%-white\n27%  African- American\n27%- Hispanic\n10%- Asian\n2%- other\n( Hispanic's may be of any race)\n\nLargest Jewish community outside Israel, largest African American community in the US (around 2 million), second largest Hispanic community (around 2 million), largest Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Russian, Dominican and Italian communities in US. One of the largest Indian and Chinese  communities in the US. Other significant ethnic groups include: Greeks, Colombians, Ecuadorians, Pakistani, Haitians, the Polish, Japanese, Koreans, Albanians, French, Mexicans, Irish, Brazilians, Vietnamese  and Arabs.\n\nLos Angeles-4,097,340 people\n47%-white\n11%- African American\n46%- Hispanic\n10%- Asian\n( Hispanics may be of any race)\n\nSecond largest Jewish community in the US, largest Mexican communiy in US,  largest hispanic community in the US and second largest spanish speaking city in the world, largest Iranian community outside of Iran. One of the largest Chinese and Pacific Islander Communities in the US. Other significant ethnic groups include:   Salvadorians, Armenians, Russians, Filipinos, Guatemalans,  Australians, African-americans,  Indians, Japanese, Koreans, and Brits. \n\nToronto- 2,481,494 people\n57.2% - White \n8.3% -  Black\n25%-  Asian\n2 %- Hispanic\n1 %- Filipino\n7%- other\n\nA majority of Torontonians still claim their ethnic origins as from Britain and Ireland, either in whole or in part. There are significant numbers of Chinese, Indian, Italian, Vietnamese, Tamil, French, German, Blacks, Portuguese, Iranian, Afgan, Greek, Polish, South American, Romanian, Russian, Scandinavia and Asians in the city..\n\n\nLondon- 7,517,700 people \n\n71 %- White\n10%- South Asian \n11%- Black\n3%- mixed\n1 %- Chinese\n2%- other \n\n71% of these seven and a half million people classed their ethnic group as white (classified as British White (50%), Irish White (3%) or "Other White" (8.5%)), 10% as Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi or "Other Asian" (mostly Sri Lankan, Arab and other South Asian ethnicities), 11% as Black (15.5% as Black African, 5% as Black Caribbean, 1% as "Other Black"), 3% as mixed race (1% White and Black Caribbean), 1% as Chinese and 2% as Other (mostly Filipino, Japanese, and Vietnamese). 21.8% of inhabitants were born outside the European Union. The Irish are the largest foreign-born group in London (numbering approximately 200,000).\n\n\nAll of these cities are  diverse, but I would go with NYC because it is the most equally diverse and a minority-majority city.  I have lived or traveled to all these cities and New York is the most multi-cultural. Los Angeles is overwhelmingly Hispanic, and  London is mostly Caucasian with most of the minorities being either  Indian or Black.  Toronto has many ethnic communities, but the Asian community dominates and as you stated it doesn't really have a Hispanic community.  New York has it all and not one ethnic group dominates. Also, it is the largest multi-cultural city in the world.

I lived in Burlington for 4 years and it is probably the most open and accepting place I have ever been.  I have never heard about any race issues there.  There is a small african american community, but there are actually a lot of african refugees too.  I would HIGHLY recommend lving there, it is a great place!!

1) for those of you with responses akin to "you have too much time on your hands, get a hobby" i kindly respond: you're the one who is searching out answers as to the identity of Cami of Laguna Beach.\n\n2) an analysis of the identity of a woman, from a woman, does not make the analyzer gay and subsequently interested in "doing" the analyzed.\n\n3) To "Devil's Advocate": you're horrifically misinformed on the politics of mixed race identity.  It seems that your knowledge base comes from an internet forum; perhaps you should continue your research. Your brazen generalizations deduce identity to the exact binaries mixed race people are breaking. \n\n4) I suppose i'm making people think; isn't that what we shoudl all be doing?

The answer is no, however, you'll be surprised to know the only ones that do come under that category are Latinos,  (part of the equal credit opportunity government compliance, fair housing and home mortgage laws) Ethnicity and race are two different things.\nThese is how they are put together (categorized)\n\nAmerican Indian or Alaska Native\n\nAsian\n\nBlack or African American\n\nNative Hawaiian or Other, Pacific Islander\n\nWhite, Hispanic or Latino ,  Not Hispanic or Latino

LA county has about 142 languages. Always changing, but around 40% Latino 33%Europeon 16% AfricanAmerican, Cal Tech students are from all over the world. I did a lot of English editing and often the only American at parties.\nAlso, there is some clumping, but lots of everybody everywhere. Not like New York with strict neighborhoods.\nSan Francisco on the weekend is really something. People get out to walk go to festivals and the mixture (even people of mixed heritage and mixed couples)

No surefire way to tell but everything can give you hints at your background.\nYour last name: Speilman=Jewish, Wilhelm=German etc...\nYour skin tone, hair qualities, nails, grandparents, family history!!!!!!\nTry and trace your roots through a local genealogical  society. They could help you find out who and where your ancestors lived, what they did and how you came to be.
