various policy regimes across American history. But the turn to immigrant
driven diversity, identify fueled multiculturalism, and majority-minority
demographics have rendered obsolete a taxonomy rooted in 18th century natural
science. What today we are learning from racial statistics is not what we need
to be learning.
