Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I wonder what Gwenyth Paltrow would check?

In the survey I'm doing now, first we ask if you're Hispanic/Latino. If so, there's a follow-up about that. Then we ask about race, and if you say "Asian" there's a follow-up where you pick from Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Other.

Pacific Islander is separate from Asian, though. I'm guessing Hawaii was a PSU at some point.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

PSU?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's a good way to poll. What field, Strega?

My mother's a biochemist, and my sister was in qualitative analysis, so they hash these things out quite a bit. I just listen and take the odd note.

Our clinical trials have the following options for Race: White, Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific, American Indian. White is used interchangeably with Caucasian.

Sorry, PSU = primary sampling unit.

Oh, the company I work at does statistical research/analysis. But I was an English major, so

is pretty true for me as well.

P-C, does that allow for multiple selections?

Nope.

Nope.

That chaps my ass. Hispanic is not a race, white is not an ethicity.

In news unrelated to the topic at hand, I think, popgurls has an interview with Jane. She talks about writing, blogging and who would have won Project Runway if she'd been writing the show. (Which is adorable.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hispanic is not a race, white is not an ethicity.

Anything that I'm involved with (including the census) now asks if you're hispanic or not in a separate question. My personal talisman for why you need to do this is Alberto Fujimori.
