It should not, however, be inferred that every city not on one of the lists below has a white majority. (There are many cities in the United States in which no racial group is in the majority.)

The United States of America has a racially and ethnically diverse population. At the federal level, race and ethnicity have been categorized separately.

The Census also asked an "Ancestry Question," which covers the broader notion of ethnicity, in the 2000 Census long form and the 2010 American Community Survey; the question worded differently on “origins” will return in the 2020 Census.
