| Ethnic | 2 | | | | | 2 | | This is the most reliable data source for accurate ethnic breakdowns of famous people. Often the information is crowdsourced by users and they cite all their sources (family trees, obituaries, census archives, etc.) on the bottom of the page. The only issue is converting their ambiguous and inconsistent verdicts into quantifiable variables. Source: https://ethnicelebs.com/ |
| Jew | | | | 1 | | 1 | | Believe it or not, this website is actually ran by proud Jews who just poke fun at themselves. However, they celebrate Judaism and Ashkenazi DNA. Their verdicts are varied and have humorous opinions added, but we filter them into a quantifiable binary Jewish or not variable. Unlike Ethnicelebs, this data set uses religion when determining if a person is Jewish or not, even if they have zero Ashkenazi DNA. Source: http://www.jewornotjew.com/ |

| Surname | | | 1 | | | 1 | | A third party free program that uses US Census data to create an algorithm that analyzes surnames and guesses what ethnicity the person is. Obviously there are issues with this data set such as African Americans who have the last names of their ancestors' slave owner. However, when no other data set is available, this can give a rough estimate and expand the data pool for the less important cast members with no IMDb or TMDb image. Please consider downloading their source code via GitHub to verify the accuracy of our data set, and to peer review our conclusions. Source: https://pypi.org/project/ethnicolr/ |

| Notes | | | The US Census considers Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Indian, and Bangladeshi as Asians. At ZR we group Pakistanis with the Arab world. And we group Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi with India because 1.) they are all genetically similar as "South Asians and 2.) there are only a handful of actors from those regions in our database.
However, you are viewing the "Asian Alone" category from the US Census when comparing it with Domestic representation. Also note that the 2000 and 2010 estimates include MultiRacial Asians not just "Asian Alone" estimates, and in some categories they include Native Hawaiians as "Asian."
So there is a margin of error less than 1% and some inconsistencies with the grouping. | If there were any inconsistencies with percentages calculated using our Census data, the Jewish Data Bank percentages were the ones used. Also please review the Jewish Data Bank pdf to understand the difference between the "Core" Jewish population and the "Extended" / "Law of Return" Jewish populations. We are displaying the "Core" Jewish populations since that is what the Jewish Data Bank and Wikipedia articles chose.
Also, the 1942 population estimates were used for the 1940 row. For the 2000 estimates, the "Core" definition was not used, so we used the 5.2 mil broader estimate instead of the 4.3 mil estimate since the 5.2 broader estimate seemed too drastic of a drop and the definitions weren't congruent with Core and Law of Return.
| Arab Americans are less than 1% of the US population and often check "White" or "Other" on the US Census. And the only data available for them started when the US Census added ancestry in 1980. So assume a less than 1% margin of error and overlap with the "White" and "Other" categories. | |
