The Census and the Questions on Race.

On Martin Luther King Holiday, a renowned social scientist examines the history of Hispanic/Latino identity and the concept of race in the Census questionnaire. He also comments on the current census debate about continuing with the current format, separating questions about Hispanic/Latino origin and race, or combining both questions in one. He also discusses the implications of the question on Other Race, and about the racially-charged question on citizenship.

Guest: Dr. David Hayes-Bautista, Professor of Medicine, Director, Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture, School of Medicine, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
