Description

RACOTHER is a bivariate indicator of "some other race," regardless of what additional race(s) the person reported, if any. Thus, RACOTHER denotes the population of people who are "some other race, alone or in combination." This category was the last one listed in the race question, following 12 specific race categories, "other Asian," and "other Pacific Islander."

Beginning in 2000, individuals were allowed to report multiple races, so RACOTHER and the other bivariate race indicators (RACASIAN, RACAMIND, RACBLK, RACPACIS, and RACWHT) are not mutually exclusive in 2000 and later years. The number of reported races is given in RACNUM.
