The US census allows you to specify your race from a list of options or choose other. A person with biracial parents can just choose whatever they feel best identifies them. There is no "qualifies".
Nationality does not work in the US. In Sweden (which, ironically given your question doesn't seem to publish country level ethnicity statistics), most Swedes are 12th generation or older. That pretty much predates the US.
Meanwhile, other issues on ethnicity are that approximately 12% of Americans can only list "ancestors kidnapped from somewhere in Africa"
