The racial categories used by the U.S. Census Bureau, e.g. White, Black, Hispanic, Alaskan Native, American Indian, Asian, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, are large catchall categories that include diverse people. To compound the situation, inclusion in one or another of these categories is usually based on self-identification. Thus, in reality what we are dealing with are not biological categories at all, but rather are:
 
  a. hypothetical categories.
  b. cultural constructs.
  c. social scientific jargon.
  d. ethnic categories.
  e. politically correct labels.
