  We have this discussion often in our school district. We have the second largest resettlement group in the US of Middle Easterners. Our data misses their unique needs and challenges when grouped with caucasians. Our EL Ss show as “white” We need to a new data measurement system

  Both. You should have included both as an option! All classifications are silly, but at least Both would be closer to the truth than either class on its own.

  The thing with being classified as white is that CBP, Immigrations, USCIS, and cops won’t treat you like they treat white people. So better to be counted with PoC and not be alone.

  POC because we’re not treated like white people.

  Neither...How about Middle Easterners. Just like there’s a distinction with Hispanics.
