USRACEETHNICITY-4CLASSES-CLASSIC for the classic US'Race'/Ethnicity classifier (pre-version 2.0.15) which has 4 classes : W_NL (white, non latino), HL (hispano latino), A (asian, non latino), B_NL (black, non latino) purely trained on US data.
USRACEETHNICITY-6CLASSES for two additional classes, AI_AN (American Indian or Alaskan Native) and PI (Pacific Islander). With this option, classifier has 6 classes : W_NL (white, non latino), HL (hispano latino), A (asian, non latino), B_NL (black, non latino), AI_AN (American Indian or Alaskan Native) and PI (Pacific Islander) purely trained on US data.
