Hispanic will be a race on the census in 2030

Which category would be the one for jewish people?

Ashkenazi = White, although if they are actually from Israel they could say MENA
Sephardi/Mizrahi = MENA

Some small groups might be Asian or Black/AA

Also nothing stops someone from checking two boxes if they feel both white and MENA (e.g.). I suspect a lot of Hispanics will check both white and Hispanic, and some will check both AIAN and Hispanic (peek the “Aztec, Maya” examples).

Seems appropriate for the current way Americans talk about race except if they split MENA from white they should also split south Asian from East Asian. South Asians are genetically and linguistically closer to Europeans than to Chinese

I do think this would result in controversy over what to do with SE Asians and to a lesser extent Central Asians, and they wanted to avoid the debate. A lot of it is solved by the fact that they are also now asking ancestry, so you'll be able to separate, e.g., Indian Americans from Chinese Americans much more easily in the data than in previous Censuses where ancestry wasn't part of the Census (but I wish ancestry was checkboxes instead of a fill-in-the-blank, recognizing that would dramatically extend the form).
