The U.S. government is updating its categories for race and ethnicity on forms such as the census for the first time in 27 years, adding more options including “Middle Eastern” and “North African” as well as allowing respondents to check more than one box. What do you think?

“There are apparently a lot more ethnicities to fear than I thought.”

“I’ll be the one to decide what race other people are, thank you.”
