Racial Identity and the State

In the chapter "Racial Identity and the State: Contesting the Federal Standards for Classification", I found the topic of "Project RACE (Reclassify All Children Equally)" very interesting. Yes, creating a category of "multiracial" would be good, but how many people will miss use this category? The reading says that 75 to 90 percent of "blacks" would now respond to this category. Are they really multiracial? And does this category really display their race correctly? I just feel that by adding this new category of multiracial, it would cause more confusion then now. With this category not only blacks would respond to it. When other races see this new category they may switch and feel that it represents them too. What would be the guide lines for this "multiracial" category be? It would need to be explained in further detail and have some boundaries with it. This category may become abused in some ways too. People may feel that since they are half white and some other race too, that they then classify for this category. This category could cause some major problems and skew census results. It could also cause there to be a foggy zone when people are trying to pick which race category to choose.
