Problem: What Box do I Check? by Mona Chalabi (3:19).
A Different Mirror by Ronald Takaki (article)
Q1. According to Mona, in what ways did/does the U.S. census misrepresent people? Why and how does language both restrict and represent people?
Q2. To Mona's question, "Why does language matter on a survey anyway? Since race and ethnicity are social constructs anyway?" What does she mean by this?
Q3. For Takaki, how does language develop an understanding of the various racial and ethnic experiences in the US? How does race (as a social construction) 'set people apart'?
