Since the Office of Management and Budget are contemplating making a change in the census forms this year, by adding a sixth category, Multiracial, which I agree with. what impact will this have on the American racial makeup.

Yep! Hadn't thought about it before, but seems as if the "Afro" isn't really proper, in "Afro-American Culture"! As goes for most "American Cultures"... And I had thought for sometime that labeling of a particular race (in filling out forms, etc) was so restrictive ~ three or four choices??? For so many people??? And WHY is it necessary? I doubt many Americans are of only one background!
