The percentage of persons, out of the total number of persons living in an area, self-identifying as racially White (and ethnically non-Hispanic). “White” refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. This indicator includes people who identified their race(s) as “White”.

How do White Americans operationalize Whiteness? This paper argues religion, in conjunction with country of origin, alters how self-identified White Americans assign ethnoracial labels to other groups. To test the role of religion on White assignment, this paper uses the case of Muslims and Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Americans. Although MENA individuals are legally classified as White in the US, they are subjected to racialization and often conflated with Muslims. Using historical analysis of racial prerequisite court cases and a survey experiment, I find country of origin and religion play separate, additive roles in racial assignment decisions, both historically and today. White assignment is constructed of both country of origin and religion. These findings also extend to perceived skin tone. This is important because many of the benefits that come from being White depend on whether others perceive an individual as White. Understanding the constitutive parts of Whiteness compels research to be specific when discussing White people and why some “White” people are excluded.

ABSTRACTIn March 2024, the Office of Management and Budget updated guidelines for measuring race/ethnicity on federal forms in the United States (US). By March 2029, Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Americans will have a new category. This population was previously included in the definition for the White race. It is unknown how this change will alter health estimates for other racial/ethnic groups, particularly among the aging population that has become increasingly diverse. Using cognitive difficulty as the health outcome of interest, our objectives were to 1) compare the prevalence of cognitive difficulty using 2020 and 2030 US Census racial/ethnic categories and 2) determine whether the odds of cognitive difficulty differs with and without a MENA checkbox. We used 2018-2022 American Community Survey data (ages >=65 years; n=3,351,611). We categorized race/ethnicity based on 2020 US Census categories (White, Black, AI/AN, Asian, NH/OPI, Some Other Race, Two or More Races, Hispanic/Latino) then created a separate category for older adults of MENA descent using questions on ancestry and place of birth to align with 2030 categories. Bivariate statistics and multivariable logistic regression models were calculated. Using 2020 categories, the odds of cognitive difficulty were higher among all racial/ethnic groups compared to Whites. Using 2030 categories, the odds of cognitive difficulty were 1.53 times greater (95%CI=1.43-1.62) among MENA compared to Whites. The odds of cognitive difficulty using 2020 and 2030 US Census racial/ethnic categories for other groups were not significantly different. Our results highlight the disparity in cognitive health among MENA and White older adults. Including a separate MENA checkbox on the ACS starting in 2027 is critical to provide baseline data and move forward discussions on health disparities among older adults.

Traditionally in the United States, voters who identify as white have the highest turnout rate of all major ethnic groups; when white voters of non-Hispanic origin (defined as European Americans, Middle Eastern Americans and North African Americans) are analyzed separately, the turnout rate increases further. In the past four decades, turnout among non-Hispanic white voters has fluctuated between 59 and 70 percent; three to five percent more than all white voters. In the six most recent elections, over seventy percent of non-Hispanic white people aged 65 and above have voted in presidential elections. In contrast to this, the youngest age bracket of non-Hispanic white voters, those aged 18 to 24 years old, had a turnout rate of just 37 percent in some years; this group still generally has the highest turnout rate among all ethnicities of this age, although black voters aged 18 to 24 did have the highest turnout rate in the 2008 and 2012 elections.

White tea is a lesser-known type of tea that has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique health benefits. Unlike black tea, oolong tea, green tea, herbal tea, and fermented tea, white tea undergoes the least processing, preserving its natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. These properties make white tea an ideal beverage for boosting the immune system and preventing cardiovascular diseases. The antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds in white tea, primarily flavonoids, have been linked to fighting obesity and oral bacteria.
The pharmaceutical industry has shown significant interest in white tea due to its potential health benefits. Botaniex, a key supplier of natural ingredients, has announced development plans to extract and purify these compounds for use in pharmaceuticals. Moreover, technological advancements in tea processing and analysis have made it possible to produce higher-quality white tea, ensuring consistent supply and demand. The market for white tea is expected to grow steadily due to its health benefits and increasing consumer awareness.

From 1966 to January 2024, ** percent of mass public shooters who carried out the shooting at K-12 schools in the United States identified as White, followed by ** percent who were Native American and * percent who were Latinx. For mass public shootings occurring at colleges and universities, the shooter was most likely to identify as Asian, at ** percent, followed by ** percent who were White. In addition, Black and Middle Eastern shooters each made up ** percent. The source defines a mass public shooting as a multiple homicide incident in which 4 or more victims are murdered with firearms—not including the offender(s)—within one event, and at least some of the murders occurred in a public location or locations in close geographical proximity (e.g., a workplace, school, restaurant, or other public settings), and the murders are not attributable to any other underlying criminal activity or commonplace circumstance (armed robbery, criminal competition, insurance fraud, argument, or romantic triangle). Mass shootings attributable to gangs, as well as most domestic homicides, are therefore excluded from this definition.
