Episode 5: I was a TOMR now I'm a SATA?

In an earlier than expected announcement, the Office of Management and Budget has informed us all of what changes with be made to the infamous Directive 15 list of officially recognized racial groups in America. Few are surprised that Multiracial with a capital “M” isn’t on it. In episode 5, Robert talks about the decision and his feelings about going from a person who chooses two or more races, to a person who can select all that apply. From a TOMR to a SATA. After 24 years of two races or more, the fight for an officially recognized Multiracial identity continues.   https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2024/04/updates-race-ethnicity-standards.html#:~:text=The%20updated%20standards%20now%20require%20that%20the,identify%20with%20multiple%20race/ethnicity%20minimum%20reporting%20categories [https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2024/04/updates-race-ethnicity-standards.html#:~:text=The%20updated%20standards%20now%20require%20that%20the,identify%20with%20multiple%20race/ethnicity%20minimum%20reporting%20categories].   https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/03/29/2024-06469/revisions-to-ombs-statistical-policy-directive-no-15-standards-for-maintaining-collecting-and#:~:text=OMB%20initially%20developed%20SPD%2015,surveys%2C%20and%20Federal%20administrative%20forms [https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/03/29/2024-06469/revisions-to-ombs-statistical-policy-directive-no-15-standards-for-maintaining-collecting-and#:~:text=OMB%20initially%20developed%20SPD%2015,surveys%2C%20and%20Federal%20administrative%20forms].     https://bethematch.org/ [https://bethematch.org/]   https://projectrace.com/ [https://projectrace.com/]

Episode 4: It's time to #makemultiracialofficial.

With a key decision just months away about whether Multiracial with a capital “M” will be officially recognized by the United States government, 2024 must be a year of advocacy for the Multiracial identity. In episode 4, Robert wraps up his talk with Susan Graham of Project RACE about the beginnings of the Multiracial rights movement and about the last time the infamous Directive 15 was under review: the years leading up to the 2000 census. Susan shares some of the experience and knowledge she’s gained during her over 30 year fight, on the local and national level, to make Multiracial official. Knowledge and experience that informs the current advocacy and that can benefit any important cause working to affect change in government. Multiracial Heritage Week is June 7th thru the 14th with Loving Day falling on the 12th. It’ll be here before we know it, but we do have time to come together as a community and advocate for ourselves and our children.   https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/02/25/the-changing-categories-the-u-s-has-used-to-measure-race/ [https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/02/25/the-changing-categories-the-u-s-has-used-to-measure-race/]   https://bethematch.org/ [https://bethematch.org/]   https://projectrace.com/ [https://projectrace.com/]

Episode 3: With friends like these...

Robert and his returning guest Susan Graham of Project RACE talk about an issue that has affected both the Multiracial community as a whole and many Multiracial people personally: bigotry from people of color. Continuing their look into Multiracial history, Susan and Robert discuss a key congressional hearing that took place before the census in 2000. Susan recounts how particularly Black politicians, and groups representing people of color and marginalized populations, openly fought against the Multiracial classification being added to the 2000 census. Why? Was it really a concern for proper statistical aggregation? Or was it just plain, old bigotry.   https://www.c-span.org/video/?88402-1/census-2000-racial-classifications [https://www.c-span.org/video/?88402-1/census-2000-racial-classifications]   https://bethematch.org/ [https://bethematch.org/]   https://projectrace.com/ [https://projectrace.com/]

Episode 2: How’s your health?

How’s your health as a Multiracial person in America? Over and under dosing from common drugs, added donor complications, special neonatal concerns, Multiracial adults and children face challenges that many in the community are unaware of, mostly because of the lack of research by the medical establishment on and for Multiracial people. Robert is joined again by Susan Graham of Project RACE for Episode 2 to discuss the medical implications of the Multiracial identity not being officially recognized by the US government.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2695719/ [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2695719/]   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9316411/ [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9316411/]   https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776936 [https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776936]   https://bethematch.org/ [https://bethematch.org/]   https://projectrace.com/ [https://projectrace.com/]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
