Some, likely the substantial majority of the “rise” in the multiracial population is just the same people reporting as multiracial where before they reported as one race. The increase recorded is +24 million from 2010 to 2020.

In 2015, 14% of US newborns had parents of differing races (of which half were the white-hispanic combo). There are roughly 3.5 million children born every year in the US, so roughly 500k multi-racial annually. So only about 20% of the “rise” from 2010 to 2020 is new humans.

Some of the rise too is likely immigration, but it’s not plausibly a significant portion.
