Last census I filled out here in the states asked only of you were "African-American", "Caucasian (non Hispanic)", "Hispanic", "Native-American", or "Asian". They never asked what nationality the African-Americans were, or for that matter, anyone else was. And, how could they, realistically? Many blacks in the states cannot know their country of origin, having descended of slaves.
