Will the Census Go Multiracial?

Nash, Philip Tajitsu

Amerasia Journal, v23 n1 p17-27 1997

Reviews the racial classifications used by the U.S. Census and explores the arguments for adding a "multiracial" category to Census data. It may be logical to question the need for any race and ethnicity criteria in the Census, but as long as racism exists, it is necessary to acknowledge it. (SLD)
