Part of the reason why we need to rethink how we ask for and use race/ethnicity information with the census.

An individual can be categorized as different races by different people as the lines for what constitutes what race is highly subjective and often shifting based upon regional, generational, and also current trends.

But I should stop here because whenever I try to actually introduce social science into conversations about race it results in confusion for some individuals.

I've been with you in that boat here. I'm not so sure it's always confusion. There's definitely some who are unwilling to change their views for any reason.
