Abstract

Popis prebivalstva je starodavna metoda zbiranja demografskih podatkov na izbranem območju. V modernem smislu se je popis prebivalstva uveljavil tekom 18. stol. Združene države Amerike so tudi na tem področju postavljale smernice v smislu tehnoloških in metodoloških novosti pri zbiranju ter predvsem pri obdelavi in uporabi pridobljenih podatkov. Svojevrstna sestava ameriškega prebivalstva je plod zasužnjevanja milijonov temnopoltih Afričanov ter večstoletnih ekonomskih, političnih in drugih migracij z vsega sveta. Zaradi tega je rasna sestava prebivalstva v ZDA izpostavljena bolj kot v kateri koli drugi državi na svetu. V zadnjih desetletjih prihaja do velikih sprememb, saj se delež tradicionalno prevladujočega belskega prebivalstva hitro zmanjšuje. Posledično se veča delež številnih rasnih manjšin, kot so npr. Afroameričani, azijski Američani in ameriški staroselci. Poseben primer pri tem predstavljajo Latinoameričani, ki so kategorizirani kot etnična skupina in že predstavljajo večino v nekaterih zveznih državah v ZDA. Družbeno-politično dogajanje v zadnjem popisnem desetletju (2010-2020) je povzročilo velik kulturno-družben premik v smislu rasne samoidentifikacije, kar je povzročilo izjemno povečanje prebivalstva dveh ali več ras oz. t. i. večrasnega prebivalstva. To dejstvo nakazuje nadaljnje spremembe, ki čakajo ameriško družbo in narekujejo morebitne korenite reforme popisa prebivalstva v prihodnje.

Secondary title: Changes in the racial composition of the U.S. population in the 2020 census
Secondary abstract: A population census is an ancient method of collecting demographic data in a selected area. In the modern sense, however, the population census became established during the 18th century. The United States of America also set guidelines in this field in terms of technological and methodological innovations in the collection and, above all, in the processing and use of the obtained data. The specific composition of the American population is the result of the enslavement of millions of black Africans and centuries of economic, political, and other migrations from around the world. Because of this, the racial composition of the population is highlighted in the United States more than in any other country in the world. In recent decades, there have been major changes because the share of the traditionally dominant white population is rapidly decreasing. Consequently, the share of many racial minorities, such as African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans, is increasing. A special example is Latin Americans who are categorized as an ethnic group and already represent the majority in some states in the USA. Sociopolitical developments in the last census decade (2010-2020) caused a major cultural and social shift in terms of racial self-identification, which resulted in an extraordinary increase in the population of two or more races or the so-called multiracial population. This fact indicates further changes that await American society and dictate possible radical reforms of the population census in the future.
