| Summary: | Our case study involves the practical issues in considering whether to treat certain groups, whose members may or may not identify as White, as separate categories in race/ethnicity demographic questions. We focus specifically on Jewish Americans and Middle Eastern Americans, and we show that the frequency with which members of each group choose White as their race/ethnicity depends on the presence of "Jewish" and "Middle Eastern" as alternatives, respectively. Although our case study is limited to race/ethnicity and was conducted in the United States, the findings also have implications for other types of demographic questions (e.g., assessing gender identity, sexual orientation, and religion) and for non-U.S. contexts. |
