The proposal extends and expands a threat to our individual liberty. But even if there were a legitimate need for government to own a classification scheme for race and ethnicity, the one proposed is seriously flawed.
for comment in the Federal Register with respect to a report from the Federal Interagency Technical Working Group and Race and Ethnicity Standards to revise the existing standards for collecting data by race and ethnicity. Comments are due by April 27, 2023.to the editor in response. That letter captured in a very personal way the divisive harm of classifying human beings by race and ethnicity. The writer had entered “Human Race” as a write‐in response to the 2020 Census questionnaire.
The current government statistical classification system began early in the 20th century with “race” typically distinguishing between nominally “white,” “black,” people, with a variety of labels and sometimes adding “American Indian,” or “other.” Since the mid‐to‐late 20th century, these definitions at geographic continent levels of detail were expanded and became the 1997 OMB Statistical Policy Directive No. 15.
Black or African American: A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Terms such as ”Haitian” or ”negro” can be used in addition to ”black or African American.” This classification system, of course, has a big flaw – namely classifying people by having their “origin” among the “original peoples” of some piece of geography. But that concept is meaningless. In pre‐history, there were multiple waves of migration across the globe that routinely and repeatedly replaced one set of inhabitants with another by force and/or interbreeding.
