The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.

A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Aasness surname at the time of the 2000 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
