Quick Glance: Expansion of Race and Ethnicity Categories in US Census
- The Biden administration has approved changes in how Latinos are questioned about their race and ethnicity in the census, including the addition of a new checkbox for "Middle Eastern or North African."
- In upcoming federal surveys, participants will encounter a minimum of seven new categories for "race and/or ethnicity," with instructions to select all applicable options.
- OMB's adjustment of statistical standards regarding race and ethnicity signifies a shift in the U.S. government's concept of "White" and introduces a completely novel category, "Middle Eastern or North African."
- These fresh standards aim to provide deeper insights into healthcare and socioeconomic disparities, potentially leading to fewer selections of the "White" category by those identifying as Middle Eastern or North African.

- Prisoners in a New York correctional facility have taken legal action as the state's Department of Corrections announced restrictions that would hinder their observation of the upcoming total solar eclipse next week.

- A representative from the Department of Corrections informed ABC News that they refrain from commenting on ongoing legal matters but emphasized that the lockdown's purpose is to prioritize the "safety" of both the inmates and prison staff.
