[quote=Anonymous]I think Arab/Middle Eastern is a lot like Hispanic - a salient category in our current society, but not really a “race” per se. Jews also struggle with an identity as “white” while also being a minority that faces hate directed at them by white supremacists and a history of facing discrimination (much reduced in this day and age) from dominant “white” society. It’s all very complicated, but that doesn’t make the data collection unimportant. I wrote a college paper on the issue of whether and how to include multiracial options on the 2000 census. It’s not like it’s a totally new conversation what categories should be made available for people to “officially” identify themselves. And they have certainly changed over time.[/quote]
