FWIW - the feds restructured how ethnicity is defined for the 2010 census. Now if you have multiple ethnicities you are reported as such - before it was only what you considered your primary race. This will balloon diversity figures in formerly non-diverse areas. I expect to see many media-filler articles such as this once the full census report is published.

There's some additional depth to how the Hispanic grouping is classified. Essentially if you self report any Hispanic lineage you are considered a primarily Hispanic individual.
