2020 Census Will Ask Black People About Their Exact Origins

[Oceanicpuppy]

If Hispanic and Latino are counted as races then Cajun/ Arcadians and North American anglos should be a races no matter if your black or white. We all are one race because the English or French colonized us.

That's just stupid.

That’s what I consider to be AA as well but I mean what difference is that gonna make unless they’re handing out reparations? Or do some sort of super exclusionary aa to reverse past redlining practices or something?

2020 Census Will Ask Black People About Their Exact Origins

For the 2020 census, the U.S. Census Bureau is changing how it will ask black people to designate their race. Under the check box for "Black or African American," the bureau is adding a new space on the census questionnaire for participants to write in their non-Hispanic origins, according to a recent memo from the head of the 2020 census. "African American," "Jamaican" and "Nigerian" are listed as examples of origins on a questionnaire the bureau is testing for 2020.

The bureau has not responded to NPR's questions about why it is making this change to both the "Black" category and the "White" category," which will also include a new write-in area for origins.


But researchers at the bureau have said they have been trying to respond to requests for "more detailed, disaggregated data for our diverse American experiences as German, Mexican, Korean, Jamaican, and myriad other identities." (The bureau was considering an overhaul to all racial categories)

And just like that I've been proven right.

ADOS was astro-turfing started by cacs to fracture the black community. Now they're gonna say black people are even less than 13% of the population.

Caribbean American organizations were asking for this regarding their own ethnicity option around 15 years ago.

The world doesn't revolve around trump. If you've been following the census, this particular addition has been in the works since before trump.
