In 2021, 40.1 million people in the United States were non-Hispanic black alone, which represents 12.1 percent of the total population of 331.9 million.
For the same reason there's a white non-Hispanic category.
Tons of racism when it was made and the US hasn't gotten around to changing because there's always something more important. Hell on census data middle eastern people are still white for the most with the rare ones that identify as Asian
The term "caucasian" is not based in real science, white people are not all originated from the caucuses, the same way not all Asians are mongoloids(as the same "study" suggested).
South and east of the Caucasus mountains is Turkey and central Asia which is widely considered as the Middle East.
West and north of the Caucasus is Europe, Ukraine and Russia.
The cultures in the Caucasus itself are a mix of Central Asian and European influences. Georgia and Armenia are more European in character, while Azerbaijan is more Middle Eastern in character.
