I would love to know the Nigerian population of Houston and Fort Bend County and only the Census will give us an accurate number that includes American Born Nigerians. I know that with it being open ended there will be people identifying as Yoruba Americans, Igbo Americans, Hausa Americans etcetera so it’s going to be a complex amount of numbers to compile.
Alief, Mission Bend and Richmond Area could easily be one of if not the most Nigerian portion of the U.S but no real data exists. Katy and Sugar Land also have large populations. With my relatives when they were in HS basically saying that ~50% of the Black populations at their school identified/were Nigerian in South Katy.
My own HS was approaching 20-25% Nigerian for the overall population when I graduated.

Honestly, the ACS is as good as the census right now because of how poorly the last census was conducted. The ACS is upfront with its margin of error.
I don’t think I like it. It seems to just do more to divide people up without even fixing the problem it claims to solve. The biggest problem with the race question is lumping south and East Asians together. Arabs are much closer in appearance and genetics to white people than Indians are to Chinese.

I at least think that the separation of MENA is a good idea. Not sure how I feel about officially turning Latino into a race. I agree with you that Asian should at least be separated into south and east, with maybe an additional southeast category maybe.
Addresses proposed latino and MENA selections under the race choices
I really wish they would add "European American" for White people of European descent, instead of lumping in Europeans, Middle Easterners, Jews, North Africans, Central Asians, and Mestizos all into a nonsensical broad "White alone" category

South Asians culturally have much more in common with middle eastern/central Asian groups than East Asians. Heck I bet most Americans couldn’t tell the difference between a Pakistani and Saudi.
