French-minded (not necessarily French) non-racialists

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/nonracial

Some people accept the spirit of the French Constitution and most of them aren't French.
They don't want the state to record race.
Some (but not all) claim that their philosophical and not biological race is none; being aracialists/nonracialists.
They claim that biological sciences and the state are not one and the same (field of human endeavour).
They claim that the state can use biological data for forensic, archaeological and other reasons, but not for any reason, especially if the personality of the citizen is infringed.
Some (but certainly not all) biological multiracials are philosophical nonracial(ist)s.

Related ethnic groups isn't the utmost hypernym of social categorization

With a biased hypernym you don't include the nonracialists

Wikipedia is not the US to present data the same way
to believe in the same values (racialism)

"Acknowledge" VS "Identify With" or "Express"

Very simple bit: this article often talks of people "acknowledging" or wanting to "acknowledge" multi-racial identities and backgrounds. While this is fine, it is worth being aware that many individuals are fully aware of their multi-racial backgrounds (thereby "acknowledging" them), whilst simultaneously being desirous of identifying with only one "race"; these groups are as cultural as they are scientific, after all. The article, in general, is written with the spirit of a kind of "racial truism", whereby "races" are taken as given categories, constants, that must be acknowledged. This is a tricky method of framing that often may ignore the complexities of such identities in the United States.
