U.S. Census changes how it identifies people by race and ethnicity, creates Middle Eastern category for first time
pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-census-changes-how-it-identifies-people-by-race-and-ethnicity-creates-middle-eastern-and-north-african-category-for-first-time
Quick Glance: Expansion of Race and Ethnicity Categories in US Census
- The Biden administration has approved changes in how Latinos are questioned about their race and ethnicity in the census, including the addition of a new checkbox for "Middle Eastern or North African."
- In upcoming federal surveys, participants will encounter a minimum of seven new categories for "race and/or ethnicity," with instructions to select all applicable options.
- OMB's adjustment of statistical standards regarding race and ethnicity signifies a shift in the U.S. government's concept of "White" and introduces a completely novel category, "Middle Eastern or North African."
- These fresh standards aim to provide deeper insights into healthcare and socioeconomic disparities, potentially leading to fewer selections of the "White" category by those identifying as Middle Eastern or North African.

Quick Glance: State government attacks on Black Floridians necessitate strong, modern-day civil rights action | Opinion
- We've been subjected to a seemingly never-ending barrage of political attacks on Black Floridians in the self-proclaimed "Free State of Florida."
- People constantly complain that we only hear from candidates when they are wooing the Black vote.
- Preventing further infringements on our civil rights will necessitate a concerted and continuing effort across our state, and the NAACP Florida State Conference is well-positioned to lead that effort, with the support of Black Florida.
- This travel warning sends a clear message: Black people are not safe in Florida.
