The question is in regards and in accordance to the U.S. Census

My guess would be Honolulu, Hawaii

Well, Boston just had its annual marathon…does that count as one race?

Does “Two or More Races” mean individuals with ancestry of two or more races?

I’d say New York?

I agree. I think it’s Honolulu.

I think Honolulu also. If not then probably a a city in west coast state or Alaska (which I guess is a west coast state, but since it is not part of the lower 48 I don’t think people typically include it).

At first Miami jumped into my head, but then I changed that in my mind fast because Hispanic is not a race.

Any of the larger cities. Melting pots by nature.

Are you asking about the greatest variety? How many races are there? I stumbled when thinking about your question. It’s getting really difficult to define race and that is probably a very good thing. As for ethnicity, I wonder how you would discover which town gets the trophy for greatest diversity. San Francisco is certainly up there, but my money’s on NYC.

@stanleybmanly The OP is asking about two or more races of an individual according to the US Census.

@JLeslie Thank you. I think I understand now. And with that criteria, I don’t even have a guess.
