Ethnic statistics: controversy over INED questionnaire
Ethnic statistics: controversy over INED questionnaire
INED, the National Institute of Demographic Studies, is developing a survey to measure the diversity of the French population, in the form of an anonymous questionnaire. Its author, Patrick SIMON, a researcher at INED, explains: the questions formulated to determine ethnic origin must not be disturbing or violent for the respondents and must make it possible to work on discrimination. However, establishing ethnic statistics raises a number of ethical problems that Alain FOIX, philosopher and Samuel THOMAS, vice-president SOS Racism, detractors of this tool. "Categorizing people is very dangerous... At Auschwitz, the first thing we did was to ask the Jews to identify themselves and to count themselves"
