The asexuality census had to create a variable group called “raceTypo,” for black people after it was found that the box marked for “Black: and/or African Diaspora,” says “NO” inside the checkmark box instead of being blank. This error led to numerous people checking “Black: African” that didn’t originally identify that way.
