Thanks to Marcela García for sharing our concerns regarding the OMB decision to move toward a combined race/ethnicity question in her new Boston Globe Media opinion piece. Marcela's article references (1) the consensus memo I coauthored with Nancy López and Edward D. Vargas (bit.ly/3PKSdFW), which was signed by over 100 researchers, activists, and scholars, (2) a recent Op-ed by IUPRA Postdoctoral Scholar and former Census employee Ricardo Henrique Lowe, Jr., (bit.ly/3PKv0E0), which was originally published in The Messenger, and (3) the AfroLatino Coalition's campaign www.latinoisnotarace.info

This latest effort ensures that Latinos are effectively deracinated and may cause Afro-Latinos to be erased. By listing Latino ethnicity as co-equal with racial categories, Latinos are inaccurately portrayed as a population without racial differences despite all the research showing how Black Latinos are treated differently from other Latinos. Separating ethnicity from race is essential for making visible the actual and intersectional racial disparities that exist within a racially diverse ethnic group like Latinos in access to important public goods such as access to education, employment, housing, medical services, etc. Without it, systemic racism, especially when discussing Latino populations, is rendered invisible. #latinoisnotarace #lasvidasnegrasimportant https://lnkd.in/ggTP_xnF
