The updates to the U.S. Census to include questions about ethnicity and to allow respondents to select more than one racial category are efforts to better understand the diversity of the United States. This information is important for various purposes, including the allocation of government resources, the enforcement of civil rights laws, and the evaluation of social policy programs. The other options, such as discrimination, determining citizenship, and affirmative action, are not the primary reasons for these updates to the Census.
