Clinton J. brought up a good point last week at the Midwest UC. The census standards for race & ethnicity data collection were established back in 1997 by the U.S. Office of Management & Budget! It hasn't changed much. In a perfect world, how should these numbers be classified to be more inclusive- especially with more people identifying as multiracial?
Has anyone's municipality or organization modernized these categories in recent surveys? Has anyone ventured beyond the two "Hispanic or Latinio/Not Hispanic or Latino" catatories?
