The United States had 3.5 million residents who identify as Middle Eastern or North African, Venezuelans were the fastest-growing Hispanic group last decade and Chinese and Asian Indians were the two largest Asian groups, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The most detailed race and ethnicity data to date from the 2020 census was released Thursday more than three years after the once-a-decade head count, which determines political power, the distribution of $2.8 trillion in annual federal funding and holds up a mirror to how the U.S. has changed in a decade. The delay was caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of a new method to protect the confidentiality of participants.
The Census Bureau says the 2020 census provided more details on the nation’s racial and ethnic groups than ever before, offering counts for about 1,550 racial, ethnic and tribal groups, although some tables aren’t available at smaller geographies for some groups because of the new confidentiality methods.
Middle Eastern or North African population
The 2020 census was the first to allow respondents to identify themselves as coming from a Middle Eastern or North African country, otherwise known as MENA. While there was no separate MENA category in the 2020 census, respondents were encouraged to write-in their backgrounds, and if they wrote Jordanian or Moroccan, for instance, they could be classified as MENA. The data showed that more than 3.5 million people did so or in combination with another group.

We had a concerted effort here in NY to purposely not fill out the census- mostly white people. We did not want NY’s influence spread around the country and did not care if NY lost federal aid- it goes to the illegals anyway. The dude came to my house 3x begging me to fill it out.
And guess what?? Our effort worked.
Republicans should have repealed the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act when they controlled congress and the White House.

Another lost opportunity.
we haven’t even seen the biggest wave of integration yet in my opinion. When asians start moving here in droves (and they will, THEN we will see the numbers move heavily and quickly)
Asians are by FAR the largest percentage of the world population and it’s just a matter of time until they start coming here in droves.
I had the cops called on me several times by angry households...one cop came close to putting me in cuffs until I could reach my boss in NYC who convinced him that I was for real and had the right to do what I was doing under Federal law.
But one thing that the Census didn't tell us...how many wetbacks are living in the country. Rat Party Headquarters just wouldn't allow it!
Republicans are the party of deadbeat losers. That is why I am neither repooblican or demoncrap. I simply hate both of them and all politicians until they earn something better than that hatred.
Right Now? the 2020 census is so out dated since Biden opened the flood gates and there are millions more people in the country then when the census was done.
And to add to the outdatedness of the 2020 census, Fauci and his evil clan killed off thousands, at least, since then.
I live in California but the same thing happened to me here.
When it came to line of “RACE”, I refused to check any of the boxes, so the lady told me to just write something in.
I did.
AMERICAN!
She said I couldn’t do that and I told her “well, that’s what I am and I’m not going to change it!
She took the forms and left.
