CLEVELAND — Ohio is one of the 10 states with the largest population of Arabs, but that’s just a guesstimate. Finding an accurate number for the populations isn't easy considering the census doesn't count them.
To truly understand how the census categorizes people, you need to look at the criteria. These are the seven categories under race and ethnicity: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or other pacific islander, and White. “I am coded by other people as not being white. Yet I’m asked to checkmark this box that tells me I have a privilege that doesn't exist for me,” said Shereen Naser, an associate professor in the department of psychology at Cleveland State University.
So, in an Arab's everyday life, what does the census affect? The census affects and influences more decisions than most people can fathom — where to build schools and grocery stores, what to research and what to fund. “Unfortunately, Arabs are not on the CSU census, which is painful, because CSU is so diverse,” said Najjar.She says in school she felt like to she had to work harder to prove herself and overcome stigmas and stereotypes.
