- Lack of splitting Asian into South and East: WTF, needed arguably even more that MENA.
“Subcontinental” and “Non-Subcontinental” works for the time being.
This was supposed to happen in 2020 but then someone in the Trump admin said no. So I guess it will only happen if Biden wins (and even then, maybe a Democrat would have to win in 2028 too).
What’s interesting is that despite Republicans often being thought of as the party that brands MENA/Latinos as the “other”, they are actually the ones who support the idea of white Latinos/white Middle Easterners.
It’s the “anti-minority idpol” line of thought; they want “White” to be as expansive as possible.
