I can't get over the fact that race is still making it into so many of our stats. If we want to end both racism and DEI, perhaps we ought to find better metrics.
I think people would love to, but haven't been able to. Race is a statistically significant predictor, even after controlling for things like income, education, etc, in many sociological studies. It probably proxies for cultures and values that are difficult to observe through other means.
Wow, never married for ages 45-49 in 1980 was under 4% for females and under 6% for males? That is surprisingly low to me

The problem is that if your metrics discriminate, any policies made as a result of the metric will discriminate too.
Does it matter what someone's race is when you measure non-marriage as a "Percent of Americans" as the title implies?
