Podcasts about classified the untold story

In this episode I'm following up on a tip from a listener who suggested that I should speak with David Bernstein. David was on Michael Shermer's podcast discussing civil liberty, free speech, and constitutional law issues. In the current situation of highly polarized public debate it is critical that we listen to both sides of the argument and don't fall victim to bias. This is a job for The Rational View! David E. Bernstein holds a University Professor Chair at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. He is the author or co-author of seven books including, most recently, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America. Find my on Facebook, LInkedIn, and Instagram

For the final episode of the year, Anchoring Truths presents a special episode featuring Professor David Bernstein of the Scalia Law School at George Mason University. Prof. Bernstein delivered remarks on the American Law of Race post the Harvard cas, Students for Fair Admissions, delivered at our James Wilson Senior Seminar on October 20th. Host Garrett Snedeker served as a research assistant on Prof. Bernstein's book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America.

It may surprise some to know that the government has definitive racial classifications for Americans, and it can be still further intriguing to find that the agency tasked with collecting, recording, and managing this data is the Office of Management and Budget. In this podcast, Prof. David Bernstein, author of Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America, joins us for an explanation of why this is and how we got here. Featuring: Prof. David Bernstein, University Professor of Law and Executive Director, Liberty & Law Center, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University

Most Americans have had to do it at some point: check the box that most closely describes how you identify your race or ethnicity. But those categories can be limiting. How did America settle on the specific categories that are in use? And what does it mean for how the country works on a sociological level and a legal one? David E. Bernstein is a law professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University. He's written several books and scholarly articles dealing with legal history and legal interpretation, such as Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America and Rehabilitating Lochner: Defending Individual Rights against Progressive Reform. David and Greg discuss both of those books in a sweeping conversation about the history of race in America, why certain categories or groups were established, and how the idea of progressivism can look starkly different depending on the time period.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why are educated people so comfortable with simplistic narratives?01:04:15: For academics, I think that once a narrative becomes established, it's really hard to fight against it. You're a young academic writing your Ph.D. thesis, you're writing your initial articles. Yes, you might want to be the Dragon Slayer who proves the new thesis and everyone else was wrong. But you better do that really well. So if you do a half-baked job, don't persuade people that much. People can say, "Oh, you're just a nut; you're just someone on the fringe, and you don't know what you're talking about." It's a lot easier to go along with the accepted narrative, add your little piece to it, add your little extra research, get tenure, and live your happy life. So I think most people are go along to get along people, they're not especially independent-minded or interested in upsetting the apple cart.On the identity entrepreneur issue12:05: The identity entrepreneur issue—there are several layers to it. There are people who could choose one of many identities and choose whatever happens to be the most convenient for their particular purposes.Why are classifications so influential?16:13: One reason these classifications are so influential is that the census uses them. And it's not just that the census uses them. The census is the font of all data for researchers.Are Americans becoming less prejudiced?39:59: I think what we have in the long run is a cultural battle that's sort of beneath the surface that no one talks about between what's going on at the grassroots, where Americans are less prejudiced than they've ever been. 95% of Americans have no objection to interracial marriage, compared to 4% in 1958. That's quite a difference.Show Links:Recommended Resources:The Rise of the Unmeltable EthnicsLochner v. New YorkBuchanan v.

Brandy and David invite David E. Bernstein, professor of law at the George Mason University School of Law and author of "Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America," to the podcast. We will discuss the proposed new 'Middle Eastern and North African' (MENA) classification to be included in the US Census pushed by Arab American groups. What would this mean for the American Jewish community? Will Israeli Americans be considered part of a new MENA classification? Can Mizrahi Jews claim this distinction? What of Ashkenazi Jews who may feel closer to their Middle Eastern heritage than to a European one? And how could this new classification play out for those seeking a legal victim status?

A call for the separation of race and state, backed by a deep dive into the surreal world of racial classification in America...Clarity from Chaos guest: David E. Bernstein, author of Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in AmericaAmericans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, they are ubiquitous in American life. Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.While reviewing the surprising history of American racial classifications, Classified raises questions about the classifications' coherence, logic, and fairness; for example:• Should Pakistani, Chinese, and Filipino Americans be in the same category despite their obvious differences in culture, appearance, religion, and more?• Why does the government not allow Americans to classify themselves as bi- or multi-racial?• How did the government decide that a dark-complexioned, burka-wearing Muslim Yemini should be classified as generically white, but a blond-haired, blue-eyed immigrant from Spain should be classified as Hispanic and treated as a member of a minority group?• Why does the government require biomedical researchers to classify study participants by the official racial categories, when the classifications have no scientific basis?In an increasingly diverse society with high rates of intergroup marriage, the American system of racial classification is getting even more arbitrary and absurd. With rising ethno-nationalism threatening democracy around the world, it's also dangerous. Classified argues that the time has come to consider abolishing official racial classification and replace it with the separation of race and state.David E.

Today, The Two Mikes hosted David E. Bernstein, who holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School of George Mason University. Professor Bernstein has just published a long-needed book about the "sordid business" of the federal government's racial classification system. The book is called Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America. The racial classification system started out a well-intentioned tool to assist the Black-Americans to compete economically and in educational opportunities during the Civil Rights Era. As with many of the national government's good intentions, the racial classification system has become a civil rights nightmare by enabling bureaucrats to define race more or less as they see fit. For example, Europeans from Spain are identified in the same category as South American Hispanics and an almost infinitesimal percentage of Asian, African, or Native American blood in an individual allows that person to claim that heritage for a leg-up in jobs, education, and the federal dole. One of the endorsers of Dr. Berntsein's Book, Law Professor Glenn Reynolds, best-sums up the point and great worth of the book by writing that the book's analysis of the mess the United States is in because of its racial classification system is total and obvious: "We mock the racial-classification schemes of the Jim Crow South, Nazi Germany, and Aparthied South Africa. But as David Bernstein has ably demonstrated, our own racial-classification system is just as risible, and no more scientific." Dr. Bernstein's book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America is available at: Amazon, Powell's Books, and Barnes and Noble.

Racial classification is ubiquitous in American life. Job applications, university admissions, government contracts, and much more involve checking a box stating whether one is black, white, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.David Bernstein has written a surprising and revealing book on how these classifications came about, with the federal government playing a leading role. It asks:Should Pakistani, Chinese, and Filipino Americans be in the same category despite obvious differences in culture, appearance, religion, and more?Why does the government not allow Americans to classify themselves as biracial or multiracial?How did a dark‐​complexioned, burka‐​wearing Muslim Yemeni come to be classified as generically white while a blond‐​haired, blue‐​eyed newcomer is classified as minority if arriving from a country where Spanish is spoken?Why does the government require biomedical researchers to classify study participants by official racial categories that have no scientific basis?Bernstein's provocative book ends with a call for a separation of race and state. Commenting will be Jane Coaston, host of the New York Times's podcast The Argument, and Prof. Robert Cottrol, a scholar of race and legal history at George Washington University Law School.

Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.David Bernstein's new book, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America, attempts to illuminate these “crude classifications”, showing how the government's formalizing and flattening of racial categories led to the forming of new interest groups, anti-discrimination policy, and complicated, ever-evolving definitions. But rather than attack affirmative action, it asks: if we're going to classify people by race, what is the goal? How do the tools we use to do so accomplish it? And what can we do going forward to do so in a better way? Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

My guest today is David Bernstein. David is a professor at George Mason University Law School and the executive director of their liberty and Law Centre. His new book is called "Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America". Topics covered in this episode include the definition of race and the historical origins of America's Big Five racial and ethnic categories, which are Asian American, Black, Hispanic, American Indian, and White. We discuss the problems with all of these categories and how those problems manifest in race-based affirmative action programs and race-based social spending in general. We talk about the phenomenon of racial fraud trials where judges have to determine the race of individuals seeking to qualify for certain programs. We discuss the malleability of racial identity, and how commonly our racial identities can change in response to incentives. We also go on to discuss the prospect of what David calls "a separation of race and state". I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the AIER Standard, Ethan Yang speaks with Law Professor David Bernstein about his work on racial classification in American law. Bernstein is the author of the forthcoming book Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America where he explores the origins and controversies surrounding the government's involvement in race relations. The conversation touches on the history and politics related to racial identity in this country while emphasizing the messy nature of state classification schemes. Bernstein outlines how the individuals that are included in certain categories often disagree or take issue with being lumped into certain ethnic and racial groups.
