2010 Census Form

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?

but SHOULD there be race and ethnic related programs and aid and scholarships? I bet there would be a monstrous backlash if I had a scholarship call the REAL AMERICAN WHITE ONLY scholarships, or the United WHITE fund, or an all white college.

That's not necessarily what I'm talking about, but otherwise, I'm not a fan of equal opportunity programs.
