Latino(a)/other label is wrong[edit]

This pyramid is currently incorrect. The Latino(a)/other category is not a race in Census data and, when treated as such by subtracting Latinos from their races and treating them separately, cannot be visibly smaller than the non-Hispanic Black and/or non-Hispanic Asian categories.

As of the 2020 Census there are:

Hispanic or Latino Americans (of any race) (18.7%)
Non-Hispanic or Latino Black Americans (12.1%)
Non-Hispanic or Latino Asian Americans (5.9%)

That is, there are more Hispanics than there are non-Hispanic Blacks and non-Hispanic Asians combined.

Perhaps one easy fix is to change the label of the Latino(a)/other category in the graph to Multiple/Other, but this is speculation on my part.

This cannot be accurate[edit]

Whites are 57.8% of the total US population. According to this image, they're close to 80%. How come? MrThe1And0nly (talk) 10:02, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
