I know you posted that census data with white winning out, but theres no brown identification option there.

Is there any data with regard to the use of the word brown specifically?

no, though i'd wager "brown" would really just be too broad and disliked to win anything. would feel like white people trying to put people in a box again (hi Latinx!).

breakdowns on hispanic demographics will usually focus on 1) hispanic/latino as a racial identifier (which is also what the census does technically but they go much more in depth), 2) a stronger focus and breakdown on what being "mixed race" is, and 3) include more specific mixed categories that may be brown, like mestizo, mulatto (a significant plurality tend to pick "white" when narrowed down iirc).
