WHAT IF TIGER WOODS, frustrated by his inability of late to win one of golf’s majors, enrolled at UC-Berkeley to finish the degree he started years ago at Stanford? Tiger would have to identify himself by race, and that would land him in the rough. Woods calls himself a “Cablanasian” (Caucasian, black, Native American, and Asian). But because his father is African American, that’s how Berkeley would categorize him. If Tiger enrolled in California’s CSU system, he’d have to either choose a single race or list himself as “decline to state.” Welcome to the outdated way the state of California approaches racial categorization in our multicultural age. Welcome, in short, to Proposition 54, the Racial Privacy Initiative, which is on the recall ballot and would amend California’s constitution to halt the collection and use of most racial and ethnic data by state agencies.
