The last update to the standards on racial and ethnic data that the Census Bureau and other federal agencies must follow, in addition to any related federal laws, took place in 1997.
suggests both the addition of a"Middle Eastern or North African" box and a combined question about race and ethnicity could decrease the number of people who identify as white for the national head count.
The recommendations come from a group of career civil servants who have been reviewing how to make data produced by the U.S. government better reflect the country's diversity. "It's important to remember that the recommendations are preliminary—not final—and they do not represent the positions of OMB or the agencies participating on the Working Group," stressed Karin Orvis, U.S. chief statistician within the White House Office of Management and Budget, which sets the statistical standards for the federal government, inthis multiyear review effort, which began in 2014, after it was stalled by former President Donald Trump's administration.
Other preliminary recommendations by the working group of civil servants include requiring more federal agencies to ask for detailed responses about people's identities, such as"Chinese,""German,""Jamaican,""Lebanese,""Mexican" or"Samoan." Another proposal would remove outdated language from the government's current racial and ethnic data policy, including"Negro" as a term
