Arab Americans Say their Mental Health Suffers Because There is No Box for Them
August 6, 2019 ~ Ann Corcoran   
“Without a racial classification for Arab-Americans by the U.S. Census Bureau, the population’s mental health goes largely unstudied – particularly in a political climate that threatens it.”


Here is an article you likely didn’t see from a publication called ScienceLine.  Writer Passant Rabie is an Egyptian living in New York who is concerned about environmental justice as well as race and genetics.

In her article she argues that there should be a box for Arabs on questionnaires and on the census to identify the exact number of Arabs living in America.

She explains that their mental health suffers (even more than she says it already does!) when they must check the “white” box.

There is no place for Veteran Americans so my mental health is suffering, too.  And shouldn't there be a place for socialist Americans, Communist Americans, or Wicca Americans?

They could become just "Americans" and then they would be fine.

They can just check the one I check - it works well enough for me and has the added advantage of being racially accurate.
