We had multiple posts on Paterson, NJ the last few days. While looking at it, a few things popped out. One is that it’s the second largest Muslim population in the US, per capita. Dearborn, Michigan has the largest. If you look at Dearborn’s wiki page, something may be amiss.

As of the 2010 census, the population of Dearborn was 98,153. The racial and ethnic composition was 89.1% White, 4.0% black or African-American, 0.2% Native American, 1.7% Asian, 0.2% Non-Hispanic of some other race, 4.0% reporting two or more races and 3.4% Hispanic or Latino.[26] 41.7% were of Arab ancestry (categorized as "White" in Census collection data).[27]
In the 2000 census, 61.9% spoke only English at home, 29.3% spoke Arabic
The city's population includes 40,000 Arab Americans. Per the 2000 census, Arab Americans totaled 29,181 or 29.85% of Dearborn's population; many are descendants of families who have been in the city since the early 20th century.
There has been a common practice of accidentally classifying “Hispanic” as “white” that may accidentally end up “distorting population numbers”. They have started doing this same thing with Arabs.
Apparently this category change stems from at least the 2020 census.

Source threads:
In many of the criminal online databases of incarcerated individuals where you can see their mugshots, name, age, race, etc., they are listing many Black, Hispanic or Asians as 'white' for their race in order to skew the national crime data statistics. I think they want to downplay the crimes committed by some groups and blame them on other groups.
Also, they want to cover up that we no longer have a white majority in the country.
Misidentification by skin color is far less concerning than the deception that’s clearly being done intentionally.
