This webinar from AAJC discusses (1) failed efforts to combine race and Hispanic origin questions and add a Middle Eastern, North African (MENA) category, (2) dynamics around check boxes, write-in responses, and (3) the ability to indicate more than one race. The webinar will feature guest speaker Dan Ichinose.
