Do you think Latino or Hispanic should be a race? Do you think under race we should have the category of Brown or person of color?

Here’s an article about the history of how Latin Americans have been categorized on the census. I found it interesting. There’s a few typos. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/06/16/321819185/on-the-census-who-checks-hispanic-who-checks-white-and-why

I’m interested in your general thoughts on the topic. I’m also interested in your thoughts after reading the article, and did the article change your mind in any way.

Please don’t answer that you don’t think race and ethnicity should be asked at all. Let’s work with the fact that for now the census will ask questions about ethnicity and race.
