OMB recently announced the adoption of a single-question format to ask about race and ethnicity in future federal data collection instruments such as the Census. This decision will remove the Hispanic/Latino ethnicity question and allow survey takers to identify their race as Latino alone, possibly risking the ability to accurately disaggregate federal data for Latinos of different races, particularly Afro-Latinxs. Afro-Latinxs often face unique educational, health, and economic disparities that are obscured when data does not distinguish between different Latino racial groups
