Comments to Washington

Project RACE was recently invited by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to give our comments on adding a Multiracial category to federal forms, including the census. We had six Project RACE representatives on the conference call, and we did extremely well. Below are the arguments of Deb Ewing.   You can find Mulatto on the 1890 US Census, along with Octoroon and Quadroon, to enumerate the percentage of a person’s mixed race. But in 1930 a person who was both black and white got written down as black, as was a person [...]

The Multiracial Numbers and the Census Bureau

2021-08-30T16:49:47+00:00August 30th, 2021|

The Rise in the Multiracial Population The Census Bureau has released the perceived reasons for the amazing rise in the Multiracial population. This is what they said: “In 2020, the percentage of people who reported multiple races changed more than all of the race alone groups, increasing from 2.9% of the population (9 million people) in 2010 to 10.2% of the population (33.8 million people) in 2020. The observed changes in the Multiracial population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect [...]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 21, 2020 Susan Graham Project RACE Email: susangraham@projectrace.com   CENSUS BUREAU REDUCES MULTIRACIAL POPULATION San Joaquin Valley, CA -The United States Census Bureau has chosen to exclude the multiracial group from the 2020 Census by giving false instructions to biracial people who call or email the bureau for direction on how to fill out their census forms. They also have excluded the group from all marketing and advertising material, unlike they have done for every other racial and ethnic group. If a multiracial person does not [...]

Where are all the multiracial people? Part 2

2019-01-24T10:18:02+00:00January 24th, 2019|

The United States Census Bureau put out a 165-page report today called “2020 Census Barriers, Attitudes, and Motivators Study (CBAMS) Focus Group Final Report.” Basically, it’s about people who don’t want to fill out their census forms. The main reasons found were privacy concerns, apathy, fear of repercussions, and lack of time. The report is full of the focus groups they studied, including African American, Native American, Hispanic, Chinese, middle-eastern, rural, and on and on. However, it appears that the one group not included is the “two or more races” [...]

Comments by Susan Graham for Project RACE (Reclassify All Children Equally) Fall, 2018 National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic and Other Populations Meeting November 2, 2018   The Casey Foundation's 2018 KIDS COUNT® Data Book warns that the 2020 census is mired in challenges that could shortchange the official census count by at least two million kids younger than age 5. This discrepancy would also put hundreds of millions of federal dollars at risk and, in doing so, underfund programs that are critical for family stability and opportunity; essential programs like housing, [...]

Real American: A Memoir BOOK REVIEW

2017-11-21T09:53:57+00:00November 21st, 2017|

Book Review by Susan Graham Real American: A Memoir I read a review of Real American: A Memoir by Julie Lythcott-Haims in The New York Times yesterday. It said Julie Lythcott-Haims’ new memoir is about growing up biracial. It’s not. It’s about growing up black. If you want to get really angry, read this book. In fact, it should be required reading for anyone even thinking about being in an interracial relationship and especially parents of multiracial children. In so many ways, it’s a primer on what not to do. [...]
