New research released this month by the Census Bureau shows that around 80% of people who wrote that their background was Middle Eastern or North African identified as white on the 2020 census questionnaire.

The article from WLRN discusses how recent U.S. Census Bureau data reveals significant differences in racial identity among Middle Eastern and Hispanic residents. Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) individuals often do not identify with the standard racial categories provided by the census, leading to a push for a separate MENA category. This group's identity is complex, with many identifying as white, but also feeling that this label does not fully represent their cultural or ethnic background. Conversely, Hispanic residents, who can be of any race, show a varied approach to racial identity; some identify as white, others as Black, Indigenous, or prefer not to specify a race at all, reflecting the diverse racial makeup within the Hispanic community. The article highlights the ongoing debate and efforts to better capture these identities in future census counts to reflect the true demographic diversity of the U.S. population.
