Episode 5: I was a TOMR now I’m a SATA?

In an earlier than expected announcement, the Office of Management and Budget has informed us all of what changes with be made to the infamous Directive 15 list of officially recognized racial groups in America. Few are surprised that Multiracial with a capital “M” isn’t on it.

In episode 5, Robert talks about the decision and his feelings about going from a person who chooses two or more races, to a person who can select all that apply. From a TOMR to a SATA. After 24 years of two races or more, the fight for an officially recognized Multiracial identity continues.
