WASHINGTON, March 3 (UPI) -- The number of U.S. residents classifying themselves multiracial in the U.S. Census is expected to climb, officials say.

The Census Bureau first allowed people to choose more than one race in the 2000 census, and this year's census will enable some of those who were children identified as one race by parents to choose more than one now that they're adults.
The bureau predicts by 2050, there will be no racial or ethnic majority as the proportion of non-Hispanic whites slides below 50 percent.
