Countries Where Ethnicity Was Asked in 21st Century Population Censuses In the modern era, asking about a person's ethnicity or race is often viewed as inappropriate in many parts of the world, particularly in Europe. Most countries outside of Eastern Europe have removed questions about ethnicity from their population censuses. However, countries like the United Kingdom and the USA, along with nations influenced by British culture, continue to include ethnicity-related inquiries. In Eastern Europe, as well as in many Asian and Latin American countries, asking about ethnicity is common practice. Conversely, the absence of such questions in Africa is primarily due to the limited availability of censuses rather than a lack of interest in ethnic demographics.
