I've done a lot of research with images of census reports from the last 200 years, and I haven't seen anything (in the northeast or deep south, anyway) that reported race as anything other than white or black even when Irish and Jewish people were clearly present. I have often found "Hebrew" in the "Race or People" field for ship manifests, though.
