Hi all,
I hope this isn't a stupid question but the recent political turmoil between the USA and Iran has got me on edge. I know in an ideal world your ethnicity shouldn't matter but we all remember Japanese interment and I am worried about bias against middle eastern (specially Iranians) should conflict arrive.
Initially I wanted to Identify as middle eastern, mostly because I don't like being lumped in as "white" when I am not, but with the recent political turmoil I hesitate to do such. I feel like going with "white" as we do on the census is the safer option now.
I'm not sure, does it even matter? I would love you thought and opinions.
Thanks guys!
