You may change your mind when Americans of European descent become a minority.

That's why I'm glad to hear right wingers are throwing them in the trash. Congressional apportionment is also decided by it.

Hispanics are classified by whatever race they call themselves. They can be causasion, caucasian / native american, or other mixed race. The Federal Government doesn't label them anything.

Actually, just this month, for the first time in our history, births of minority children out-number those of caucasians.

Just for the record, before someone starts throwing racial invectives at me, I have no bone to pick in this fight.

I am multi-racial, and I have a DNA test to prove it. What's more, my kids are even more mixed than me.

there are only 2 races the decent and the indecent and thanks to human nature it normally takes history to decide who you are affiliated with.

census is crap.

I have a SS card, I signed my selective service card, what else do they want. Leave me ALONE.

BTW, please stop printing money to buy ads during the super bowl to encourage me to fill out this crap... we are broke, stop spending on stupid BS.

Yep. Unfortunately politicians want to see who voted for them and the only way they can do that is by the color of a person's skin. It doesn't help that we keep talking about the Black vote, the Hispanic vote, Female Jewish voters, etc.

There's no way to connect census data with voting numbers. A voter's ethnicity/race are not recorded when voting. Politicians already know the ethnicity of their constituency without the census. You think Rangel would have a chance of being elected if he ran in upstate NY and not the city?
I can't see any harm in the g'ment knowing the demographics of it's citizens. If there is a harm, let's hear about it.
I'm much more concerned about the g'ment our tapping phones without a warrant.
