[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Many countries seem to have some system of classifying people, some like USA, Brazil, South Africa and Cuba still go by color/race, which is a rather superficial way to classify people. Some go by ethnicity, language and nationality. Some go by religion. It is interesting that most of the old colonial powers (except the United Kingdom) seem to have abandoned it. So the countries that are said to have invented racism are among those who abandoned the system of racial classification. Many of these countries colonies have also abandoned classifying people by race, but many still classify through ethnicity and sometimes language. India do not register by race either, even if caste, colorism and religious divides still exist there. So it seems that the habit of registering people by skin color is in decline. Maybe it will one day go away completely. [QUOTE]France France has not counted individuals by race or ethnicity since at least 1978, when a law was passed that prevented individuals from being enumerated by these categories without their consent or a state committee waiver. The reasons for this are that many French people consider asking people about race and ethnicity to be a contradiction of their principle of equality and equal treatment for all French people. Also, there is a desire to avoid repeating what Vichy France did in regards to its Jewish population and to prevent the National Front from getting more popularity. Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his administration supported and proposed counting French people by race and ethnicity. Due to criticism, however, this proposal was never implemented, and as of 2013 former French President Francois Hollande opposes enumerating people by race and ethnicity.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Portugal Census in Portugal do not include a question regarding individuals ethnic or racial background. A question of this kind was recommended to be included for the first time for the 2021 census ("Censos 2021"),which sparked some controversy. The question was ultimately not included, although a question about religion was included. A questionnaire regarding ethnicity was planned by the Instituto Nacional de Estatística for late 2021.[/QUOTE]Egypt who is the talking point in many threads do not register by race or ethnicity.
