For the first time in 27 years, the U.S. government is changing how it categorizes people by race and ethnicity, an effort that federal officials believe will more accurately count residents who identify as Hispanic and of Middle Eastern and North African heritage.

The revisions to the minimum categories on race and ethnicity, announced Thursday by the Office of Management and Budget, are the latest effort to label and define the people of the United States. This evolving process often reflects changes in social attitudes and immigration, as well as a wish for people in an increasingly diverse society to see themselves in the numbers produced by the federal government.

    Yes, I didn’t read all of your links. Openly admitted. I didn’t bother after it was clear your first link didn’t support your point. Already pointed out the apparent gish gallop.

    But your lie is that I didn’t read past the first two paragraphs of the first article, which was clearly untrue from the start and certainly after I clarified it for you.

    It’s amazing that you’re willing to jump through all of these hoops to lie about me lying, but won’t even explain your point.

    Pretty transparent.

      Again, I will “reciprocate” more and explain my point when you read the links I provided to make my point. Let me know when you have done so. Of course, I will expect more than just your word, just like I don’t just take you at your word that you read the single one you claim to have read to the end.

      Whenever you’re done reading those links, tell me about them.

        I’m the only one who has responded to anything in your links. The only one who has put up more than their word is me.

          Once again, when you have read all of my links, tell me what you think of them. Then we can continue this discussion.

          You cannot honestly address my point without reading and addressing my evidence and I’m not interested in helping you try.

            Still the only person who had said anything about what’s contained in your links is me. You’ve gone out of your way to avoid doing so.

            We both know why and we’re the only two here. So I’m not sure who you are trying to fool.

                Which is, of course, not saying anything about the links. I don’t blame you for avoiding the debate because you know you’ll lose, but I can blame you for the dishonesty.

                    I love how I have to do something you aren’t even willing to do yourself. But I get it, you’re done (why you didn’t realize that earlier, I don’t know) but need to have the last word so I’ll give it to you.
