I request for where it says "It is difficult to track full or partial ancestry from Spain in White Hispanics or Mestizos because people of direct Spanish descent are also classified as Hispanic, and though the census does track Hispanics' national origin, it does not classify it by race" to be changed to "It is difficult to track full or partial ancestry from Spain in White Hispanics, Mestizos, or Mulattos since people of direct Spanish descent are also classified as Hispanic, and though the census does track Hispanics' national origin, it does not classify it by race" 2A0A:EF40:1297:D201:751C:F212:A8:BF76 (talk) 18:20, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: Mulattoes and Mulattos are both correct spellings. Myrealnamm (💬pros · 📜cons) 21:08, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Done Mulattoes is the correct English spelling. Mulattos is Spanish. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:09, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Change "The study concluded that ENGLISH ancestry is the most common European ancestry among white Americans, with this component ranging between 20% (Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota) and 55% (Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas) OF THE TOTAL POPULATION (REGARDLESS OF RACE) IN ALL 50 STATES."

To "The study concluded that BRITISH/IRISH ancestry is the most common European ancestry among white Americans, with this component ranging between 20% (Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota) and 55% (Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas)."

In the source cited, the conclusion reads, "Inferred British/Irish ancestry is found in European Americans from all states at mean proportions of more than 20% and represents a majority of ancestry (more than 50% mean proportion) in states such as Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee."

The parentheses concerning Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, is correctly inferred from Fig 3C.

Note that "British/Irish" is a very different from "English". Note also that the last clause "of the total population etc." is entirely misleading. The percentages are not percentages of the population, but mean ancestry proportions. Nor are the figures regardless of race; they explicitly only include self-identified European Americans. Nor is there any evidence that the study measured data from Alaska or Hawaii. 2A02:C7C:900D:7200:D014:E168:6411:933 (talk) 22:04, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why does did article mention nothing about White people’s oppressive and racist history?

Why is the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws, Native American genocide and the Atlantic slave trade not mentioned in the article. Whites have abused African Americans. 50.67.93.109 (talk) 06:17, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
