Anyway, there doesn’t seem to be a convential naming system back then for people other than ‘white’.
Convential? What?!

Anyway, you might want to read page 5-7 under "Race and color" of the link provided in the post.

Here it is again in case you can't find it...@ http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsus/vsus_1961_1.pdf (just pick it, it'll open in a new tab)
And here is the info...

Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and "other nonwhite." Looks like a conventional naming system to me.
And look, there's Japanese!

You’re right. I was totally wrong (Or “That’s right, I’m wrong!” to paraphrase Kay Kaiser).

Thanks for setting me straight so I don’t go on repeating a falsehood. :)
