The U.S. Census and Our Sense of Us
NPR’s Code Switch looks at the U.S. Census. As NPR describes the Census, “It’s about what we call ourselves, the ways we see ourselves and how we’re represented.” On this episode we ask the former head of the Census bureau why he quit. We talk about how the Census helped create ‘Hispanic’ identity. And we talk through some of the proposed race and ethnicity categories that may show up on the 2020 questionnaire.
