If you haven't heard already, there's a new Proposision on the recall ballot for the California election to be held October 7th. This new proposition will prevent California governments (state and local) from collecting data on Californian's race or ethnicity. It's written by Ward Connerly (an affirmative action foe) and he says it will take California "beyond race--to stop living the hyphen"
According to Time, right now it's about 50% for and 29% against this proposition.
I'm not so sure this is a good idea. Some of the opponents point out that making associations between diseases and ethnicity will become more difficult as death certificates won't include race. Schools and Unis won't be able to collect racial data, and so forth. :S
What's your take on Prop 54?
