NSF would have to comply with whatever the current federal guidelines are for demographic reporting. I don't hold this against them.

Oh, agreed. I think almost all the bizarre things happening at the big agencies are not because of the actual staff. I meant more that I can't see what the point of them even tracking it is, vs understanding why it might be asked on a census or the general social survey.

It is for the same reason I was made to take my pronouns off of my Fed email signature. Some high up person kept getting annoyed at having to take demographic surveys that delineated minority groups but not majoritarian European ones. There is no point except to be "anti-woke".
