Understanding and Measuring Latino Racial and Ethnic Identity

Most survey questions do not reflect the complex ways that Latino ethnicity and race interact. In this webinar recording from the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families (Center), Drs. Julie Dowling, University of Illinois Chicago, and Mark Hugo Lopez, Pew Research Center, discuss the research pertaining to the measurement of race and ethnicity in the U.S. Census and across other surveys. Specifically, they discuss the conceptual issues surrounding the measurement of race and ethnicity in Latino populations; challenges with current approaches to measuring race and ethnicity among Latino populations; and proposed solutions for measuring racial and ethnic identity more accurately, including the measurement of mixed-race identity.

The problem with this is the white and black are not races they are colors. You can be Latino and be from many different countries. You can be darker skin and from many different countries, same thing as "white"
