Race and ethnicity in the United States
For decades, America was a melting pot of the racial and ethnical diversity of its population. The number of people of different ethnic groups in the U.S. has been growing steadily over the last decade, as has the population in total. For example, 35.81 million Black or African Americans were counted in the United States in 2000, while 43 million Black or African Americans were counted in 2016.
