Angela Saini is a science journalist and author. Her fifth book, “Other: Race, Sex, and the Hidden Harms of Human Categories,” will be published in January. The Trump administration is looking to remove race and ethnicity questions from the next US census in 2030. For more than 50 years, these categories have served to further equality, protecting voters’ rights and overseeing affirmative action policies, including government set-asides for business owners of color. It stands to reason that this administration would place the census in its crosshairs. The proposal may be sold to the public as working toward the lofty goal of racial color-blindness. Surely, conservative campaigners argue, a truly fair nation wouldn’t need to catalog people by race at all? This was precisely the justification used by Chief Justice John Roberts when, three years ago, the Supreme Court struck down race-conscious university admissions. But if color-blindness is the Trump administration’s true aim here, how to explain its simultaneous demand that universities provide race data on incoming students to monitor the rates of people of color they admit?
