Conceptual framework

An example of a well-known conceptual framework that is used to categorize these differences is a census.

For instance, a strength would be that this is useful to categorize by racial classification forr statistics and geographical purposes. On the contrary, there is a problem with this particular conceptual framework. On the census, they want to add the classification “multiracial” for those born of various races. The label “multiracial” has caused an issue with the National Association for the Association of Colored People and La Raza.
