This literally is the history of race on census forms. A census taker would decide what race you are, from categories thought up by other people. https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/race/MREAD_1790_2010.... > While people nowadays are enumerated by race based on self-identification, until 1950 their race on the census was mainly determined by their census enumerator.[170] During this time multiracial people who were White and of another race were usually marked down as belonging to the other race due to the One drop rule.[170] The instructions provided to enumerators endorsed this practice. |
