I found a twitter thread discussing how California will run its race classification system if #Prop16 passes and it part of it listed North African/Middle Eastern people under the category of "White/Caucasian" for whatever dumb reason. And i found two black females on the thread saying that the reason they did that is because White people will be a minority soon so in order to stay the majority they decided to boost up their numbers by including Middle Easterners/North African people as "White/Caucasian"
.....what? wtf.... i can't... How can people be this stupid to think this??
I think it just means for mixed race people, how you are identified by the UC is determined by the left most column you identify with. For instance, if you were 1/3 Cuban, 1/3 Qatari, and 1/3 Somali, you would be considered Hispanic/Latino by the UC.
