Thanks for your note! As you probably know, the new census methodology for race and ethnicity (instituted for the 2000 census) treats the "racial" categories ("White" "Black" "American Indian and Alaska Native" "Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander" "Asian" "Other" and "Multiple Races") as completely distinct from the "ethnicity" of "Hispanic." (see here for more info.) So not only does the census not publish data for any "non-white Hispanic" population, but I think such a category would be invalid given how the 2000 questionnaire was written.
I have made a couple maps of the "Hispanic" population distribution; they are here:
Personally, I think that it might be better to point out that many "hispanics" do in fact identify as "white" than to try to define (and map) "white" as a category which by definition excludes "hispanics." Yes?
And sorry for all the scare quotes here.. but I think it's important to remember that in the end there's no deeper meaning to census "race" and "ethnicity" than what's reported on census forms.
Let me know if you have any further thoughts -- I'd love to work on more population-distribution maps, if there are maps that can in fact be made. Alas! -- Citynoise 23:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Harvard-div.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Ductwork ( talk) 18:29, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
