Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. Census Bureau uses the term "race" to categorize individuals, and the term "black" is used to describe a racial group within the census. Therefore, option A) racial is the best choice. Option B) cultural may not be accurate since being black does not necessarily mean one shares the same cultural practices, language, or religion. Option C) national is not applicable since black people are not a nation; they come from various nations and ethnic groups. Option D) ethnic is not necessarily wrong, but the more accurate terminology used by the census is "race."
