| | INTERRACIAL VOICE - Guest Editorial (Naomi Zack) |
 | | Therefore, so long as beliefs in pure races persists in society, there would seem to be a need for a theoretical foundation that could be used for political and policy arguments that allow for the recognition of mixed-race identities. | | | And at this time, any wide-scale primary and secondary school instruction about the scientific flimsiness of race is likely to be strongly opposed by the same established interests who have opposed relinquishing one-drop rules in interpreting the Census 2000 data. | | | By the 1890 count, distinctions were made within the mulatto group down to "one-eighth or any trace of black blood." The "one-drop rule," whereby black designation resulted from any black ancestry, no matter how remote, become the social rule of the land by 1900 and it was adopted by the census in 1930. |

| | Counting on the Census? |
| | Scrutinizing the tendency to equate census numbers with political power, Skerry places census controversies in the broader context of contemporary American politics and society. | | | But Skerry also rejects the view that the census is a scientific exercise best left to the experts, and argues that it is necessarily and properly a political undertaking. | | | Race, Group Identity, and the Evasion of Politics |

| | Prior to this point, these data had not been publicly released except as a national total, as state totals, for cities and counties over 100,000 population, and for congressional districts. | | | The Census Bureau recently released to the Subcommittee on the Census, Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, a copy of the Public Law 94 - 171 data adjusted to reflect the measured net undercounts based on the 1990 Census Post-Enumeration Survey. | | | In response to the anticipated demand for these data in the public discussion of Census 2000, the Census Bureau determined the release of these data on the Internet is the best and most efficient way to make these data publicly available. |
