The census bureau have release the expanded categories of ethnic groups breakdown by culture groups. Asian group have more summary as of now and future releases of White, Black, Latino will be later.
The intriguing info for me is that Indian Americans, based on alone pop, is the largest asian group in the US or slightly less than Chinese Americans in the combined category.
Salvadorians are the 3rd largest latino group.
The Black category shows that Aframs consist of 61%+ of that group and Jamaicans & Haitians comes next. Amongst African cultures it's Nigerian, Ethiopian, & Somalis. Didn't realized there was over 220K Somalis in the US now.
The vast majority (93.9%) of respondents classified as Some Other Race alone were of Hispanic origin
Note that Jamaican because the #2 black ancestry group when in combination while Ethiopian barely changes.
I'm also surprised that the AA population is only ~25million.

The census site says 47.2 million black or alone in 2021 so I wonder what’s missing from this chart

Assuming 80-90k of those Cabo Verdeans live in MA...that's a large percentage of the total black population that mixed with "some other race" Probably 85k out of 700k blacks statewide. so ~1/8. That sounds very fair and accurate.
Slightly surprised Haitians have lowkey surpassed Jamaicans if they hadn't in 2020 they certainly have by now with the migrant crisis. Seem like the gap between the two was huge 20 years ago.
Yea not alot of this makes sense especially with the white population. German ancestry was something that dwarfed English and Irish ancestry in the US in every census. This one shows English as being higher than Irish and German and being around 20 million higher than every other census lol

Genetic ancestry tests probably pushed the needle on that. A lot of people used to identify solely as American, so that makes a lot of sense in my books.
I did the math and roughly 37.9% of black individual's for whatever reason did not specify ethnicity in the state of Texas. Now it's fair to say we don't know who did this whether it was African American's who felt they didn't have to put down their ethnicity because their the dominant black group (which is fair), or it could be illegal immigrants or for some other reason, immigrants in general not wanting to put down their ethnicity on a government document. My guess is the former, but I would rather just scale these numbers up and assume that's what it is for the state.
I'm gonna make a few categories first: Now, I assume this is a gross overestimate but I think this is also a fun way of doing things, and more reflective of the demographics around my age, (early 20s) because African immigrants are very bottom heavy population and Caribbean folks are still moderately young population.
This is for Texas:
African American- 88.0%
African- 10.0%
West African (Not including Nigerian)- 1.0%
Nigerian- 4.9%
Caribbean- 1.9%
East African- 3.0%
Central African (including Cameroon)- 1.0%
Southern African (Anglophone Countries)- 0.2%

Yeah turn off the media/TV.
