[[Hispanic]]ity, which is independent of race, is the only ”[[ethnic]]” category, as opposed to racial category, which is officially collated by the [[U.S. Census Bureau]]. The distinction made by government agencies for those within the population of any official race category, including ”American Indian or Alaskan Native”, is between those who report [[Hispanic]] backgrounds and all others who do not. In the case of American Indians and Alaskan Natives, these two groups are respectively termed ”’Hispanic Amerindians/Hispanic Native Americans”’ and ”’non-Hispanic Amerindians/non-Hispanic Native Americans”’, the former being those who report [[indigenous American]] ethnicity as well as a Hispanic ancestral background ([[Spain]] and [[Hispanic America|Hispanic Latin America]]), and the latter consisting of an ethnically diverse collection of all others who are classified as Native American/American Indian or Alaskan Native that do not report Hispanic backgrounds.
