2010 Census Form

[roberth]

I just completed and mailed it back. They didn't have a provision for a cloven-hoofed, spiral-horned quadruped human so I told the truth.

No questions about guns. No questions about income.

Now we wait to see how the redistricting goes.

I put other in the race form and penciled in "AMERICAN"


they create their own racist bullshit when they ask what the background is. it should either be american or illegal immigrant or maybe immigrant on a green card or visa. other than that it just helps create the mindset for racism.

I just filled mine out too. I'm glad I live alone as it took less than a minute to fill out. I should have put "American" under race too. Kinda wonder how many people that fill out the "Hispanic" are illegal immigrants.

I agree, why does the race of the citizen matter? Illegals are criminals to start with so they'll just lie or not fill it out.

Maybe it should say:

Citizen
Non-Citizen

And then

Net Tax Payer
Net Tax Receiver
Illegal / Parasite

You can't get any information about which races are in which class without that question. So, I guess if they got rid of that question, there might be less race specific aid programs, but probably not. I'm torn on if I'm bothered by that question or not.

I haven't even filled ours out yet. But I like "American".....

A friend of mine puts "Irish-American" on hers.

[Marlin]

Hmmm,, I guess due to the complete mutt like family tree I have,, I could put down German-Irish-English-Polish-Scottish-American..

Think that would go down?

[pickenup]

Have not received mine yet.
But the letter telling me I was going to get one....

Had the WRONG CITY on it.

Think I will just send it back.
No such address in THAT city.
Return to sender.

That's always been my position as well.
