Kurdish-Americans fearful of being counted as ‘Arab’ in US census

"“My concern is that Kurds should not be classified as a sub-category under ‘Arab’ in the US or anywhere else,” Serindag, a Kurdish-American librarian, said. “This kind of subcategorization is incorrect, because Kurds are a majority in the areas where they live.  

“A people of some 40 million deserves a category in its own right. Ethnically, Kurds are Indo-Europeans while Arabs are Semitic. The US Census Bureau is taking a politically incorrect approach and needs to get Kurds and experts involved in its decision-making.”"
