In my office I have groups of family figurines in four flavors—Asian, Black, Hispanic and White. When writing this I gave a lot of thought as to the order I was going to list those races lest I seem, well, racist. I finally decided that the fairest way was to simply put them in alphabetical order.
My original list was Black, White, Hispanic and Asian. Black and White first because I’m used to that phrase, as in black and white thinking or black and white TV. Next I added Hispanic because they make up over a third of the population here in Texas. And then, almost as an afterthought, I listed Asian. Though there are more Asian people in the world than any other “race”, I rarely encounter one so they came in last.
