Greetings, all. I'm running an ANOVA, analyzing changes in service delivery due to the implementation of telemental health. I have an overlap between Race and Ethnicity. Race is divided into Black/African American, White, and Other Race. Ethnicity is Latinx/Non-Latinx. 78.7% of the Other Race is Latinx. 70% of Latinx is Other Race. So the majority of Latinx respondents used Other Race. If I eliminate Latinx subjects from Other Race, the result is 298 subjects in the Other Race category compared to 4676 Black/African American and 4038 White. If I eliminate those 298 subjects from Other Race, then that effectively makes Hispanic as a racial category with 1101 members. So I might use four racial categories and eliminate ethnicity altogether knowing that one of the racial categories was Hispanic. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance. I suspect I'm not alone in this quandary with respondent confusion regarding ethnicity and race.
