Census will offer Hispanic or Latino and Middle Eastern or North African as race categories for the first time

[King]

Wht will be interesting is if there's a talking point on how the caucasian population is dramatically shrinking, when part of it is just people finally getting the identification they prefer

They'll still identify as white

A win for the “me no Black papi”s

You know your ethnicity and lineage.

23-And-Me has proven this isn't true at all. Tons of people have been claiming all sorts of lineages that had no basis in reality.

I only care about the ADOS/FBA category.

it's needed.

No you don't, if you really care about yall folks.

 

[Voice of Reason]

No you don't, if you really care about yall folks.

I see what you are getting at but ADOS should be a subset of “African American” on the census not a separate. But even if it wasn’t we will survive like we always have.

An average ADOS can definitely trace our lineage back to slavery.


23andme exposed the “chosen people” but I’m talking about something different.

But according to the coli, Latinos picked white cuz they wanna be white

When I been saying there was no option for latino.

This is dumb. There are Hispanics who are literally black and some who are white.

This is dumb. There are Hispanics who are literally black and some who are white.

I remember seeing a "Missing Person" poster at a store somewhere and there was this Mulatto looking woman with a Spanish name who was labeled a "White female" on the classification part of the poster. I almost cracked up but caught myself because of how f*cked up that would come across.

 

[Fresh]

I know Latinos that don't identify as white so I'm glad more racial/ethnic choices are offered

 

[Jean Jacket]

I'm certain that this is not designed to benefit anyone but cacs in some way.

 

[Givethanks]

What happens when...

you're black and from Colombia?

You're Black and from Algeria?

You're White and from Mexico?

You're White and from Lebanon or Israel?

Asian can ranges from Indian to Pakistani to Chinese to Filipino and much more.

Russians are complex as shyt too lol.

This seems lazy tbh, why put different types of Natives if you're not gonna put different types of black people?

 

[shopthatwrecks]
