Stop collecting race data

In California Non-Hispanic Whites only represented 40% of the population during the 2010 census. Hispanics are White under this arcane reporting system so we collect data on Hispanic-Whites and Non-Hispanic Whites. So my question: Is it now time to remove the term “minority” from our lexicon? California has no “majority”. Perhaps California could change the nomenclature to “preferred minorities” and “others”.

Or how about this for an idea. Why don’t we stop using tax dollars to collect this data. I for one do not really care what your race is.

I have previously asked how we fairly label everyone.

So I propose that we shut down all the race profiling, quotas, set-asides, government contract "programs", affirmative action programs. Let’s hire, promote,accept for college and give contracts to the ones that are most qualified. Let’s stop this institutional “racial, sexual and religious profiling” and treat all people based on their own individual merits.

But alas I admit that I am in the minority on this point.
