I am terribly sorry that I have not posted much recently. On Wednesday I started working in the DOC Group where I will be doing research this summer. Today I set the group up with Blogger accounts so that they can track their progress quickly and efficiently.

The other day while the group was filling out paperwork, we noticed a disturbing trend. On our demographic information form for payroll, there was a section for "race/ethnicity". The choices were: African-American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, American Indian, and "Other". If you're like me, you've noticed that "White/Caucasian" has now been lumped under "Other". I'm not exactly sure what to make of this, but is the world getting so PC that I am not allowed to have a race anymore? Next thing you know instead of "Gender: male or female" it will say "Gender: female or other". Scary.
