[QUOTE] [b]U.S. Census QuickFacts White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian. Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "Black, African Am., or Negro"; or report entries such as African American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian.[/b] [/QUOTE]^^^^ you take this to mean this>>> [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukular According to the USA census all peoples of N Afr and the "Mid-East" are supposed to check white Caucasian no matter their colour or phenotype. [/QUOTE]This statement is after the fact categorization when a person such as a Moroccan intentionally does not check "White" or "Black" or both "White" and "Black" or mutiple "race" categories BUT instead at the bottom of the "race" section they write at the bottom of the form " Moroccan" ( or some other NA country) then the US gov assumes the person is White when it comes to compiling statistical information which is later used in race based policies. I'm not saying it's right but it misleading to say they are telling people to do something. The statement is not even on the Census itself. The Census tells you what to do-pick one or more of any of the categories or write in what you want. It does not show on the form 'White' and have any definition or country listed after it -nor does the fact sheet say anything about "how to fill in section 6. on the US census" It is an online fact sheet which tells you how they will categorize somebody who writes in their own option " White...includes people who....report entries such as... Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, If a Black Moroccan American chooses "Black" they will be counted as Black. Should they assume a Moroccan unspecified is White? No They shouldn't assume anything Some "race" based policies could be affected by the data [/QB][/QUOTE]
