Obama adding a new victim-class for the purpose of them receiving federal program 'handouts', essentially. Since the government doesn't give many scholarships or aid to white people, they can't allow their favorite brown skinned people to be lumped in with whites too. Didn't people start calling him the 'great divider'? Thanks, Obama. --- Quote ---The White House is putting forward a proposal to add a new racial category for people from the Middle East and North Africa under what would be the biggest realignment of federal racial definitions in decades. If approved, the new designation could appear on census forms in 2020 and could have far-reaching implications for racial identity, anti-discrimination laws and health research. Under current law, people from the Middle East are considered white. --- End quote --- http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/09/30/white-house-wants-add-new-racial-category-middle-eastern-people/91322064/ |

I mean, the current categories are White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, and Other. What's wrong with reducing the ambiguity of "Other"? |
