The US has “race” fields on most forms with equally ridiculous options.
- CamTin 6y agoThere's usually (always?) an "other" or "I would prefer not to say" option though.
- dqpb 6y agoIn my view, the categories they provide, and even the question itself perpetuates racism. I acknowledge that the data is useful for understanding communities. But the question should be reframed to not reinforce racism.
- tpush 6y agoIn that case even the mere presence of a field called 'race' is the ridiculous thing.
