The article focuses on issues surrounding the Classification by Race, Ethnicity, Color, or National Origin Initiative (CRECNO) in California. CRECNO, or Proposition 54, would limit the state's ability to collect data pertaining to race, ethnicity and national origin. Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante donated $3.8 million of his campaign fund to efforts of defeating the proposition. If race speaks primarily to historical and social forces, ethnic and geographic origin can be related to genetic risk factors for certain medical conditions.
