Also, generally, I don’t support purposeful exclusion of ethnic groups - especially one that, including Arabs, Turks, and Iranians, numbers over half a billion people.

We should do the census on ethnicity instead of race.

The simplest solution would be to a abolish racial categorise on the census and just collect ethnicities.
