Hispanic may be a race on 2020 census

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
the U.S. Census Bureau is proposing a potentially more controversial change: to collapse two questions on race and ethnicity into one, creating a "Hispanic race" category. Congress won't decide it until 2018, when the wording of the 2020 census is approved. But Latino advocacy groups, scholars and others are criticizing the category as inaccurate, inadequate and ludicrous.
Great moments of Blue America.
