Quick question: How are ~14% of all respondents from India, but 4.1% categorized as Middle Eastern in the Race and Ethnicity breakdown?
This is just one example of a strange anomaly in the data.
- def- 9y agoIndia is not in the Middle East.
- jfoucher 9y agoNot really replying to the point you're trying to make but I don't think "middle eastern" is a race nor ethnicity...
- seren 9y agoMiddle East does not include India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East
- hdkrgr 9y agoI guess most will identify as 'South Asian'. Also you can see that the race/ethnicity question only has ~55k responses out of 100k respondents in general. To many of us it feels like a very US-specific question that we are glad to skip. Racial identity is just not part of our lives. I might identify as as European, but certainly not as 'White or of European descent'
- SiempreViernes 9y agoYeah, it is a bit weird to use US specific notions of race outside of the US itself. How many Europeans in Europe feel that of "European descent" is an accurate description?
