"The controversies that surround race and racial preferences are never very far from center stage in American public debate....California's existing ban on affirmative action, its tremendous demographic diversity, and its climbing numbers of mixed-race residents combine to raise real questions about how the state collects racial information from its residents--and even whether it should continue to do so." (CALIFORNIA JOURNAL) This article examines California's debate over adopting the Racial Privacy Initiative, "designed to block the state from collecting information about race, ethnicity, color or national origin."
