I'll grant you that isn't a strong argument, since I conceded that in my post and since it doesn't pass the smell test when one considers the multitude of terms the Census won't add to the form no matter how many people write them in, but that's the come-back.<br /><br />But I get it...you aren't defending the Census, not really. You're trying to dismiss racial things, right? <br /><br />Right.<br /><br />Nice try, This Guy...now get thee gone.Shark-Fuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323962708956637012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-48534699701957910292010-03-31T17:28:59.436-05:002010-03-31T17:28:59.436-05:00Lets face it, The word negro would not be used on ...Lets face it, The word negro would not be used on the census unless African Americans would not refer to themselves as such.

I remember the 1990 census that included occupation, income, hours worked, and lots of other information on race, class, gender, ethnicity, working conditions, etc. This one seems strangely focused on one and only one thing to me."<br /><br />When I got the 2000 census, it had several pages and asked all that stuff - hours worked, how did I GET to work, how many rooms in my house, all kinds of stuff. And you know I love filling out forms, so I delightedly filled it all out and sent it in. Then moved. Coupla weeks later, census worker came to the door and said I hadn't filled out my census form. I said I had, but I had been at thus-and-such address when I did. He said he needed me to fill out another one, associated with *this* address, so I started doing finger warmup exercises. To my disappointment, the form he requested I fill out was only one page long, and only had a few generic questions on it. <br /><br />Short version: There are two forms that go out every year. IIRC, about 1 in 10 people can expect to get the "long form" which goes into all the detail; everyone else just gets the short form. It's supposedly 100% random. <br /><br />However, get this: This year, I got TWO census forms - one long and one short, both for the same address. I'm filling them both out, but I'll bet $50 someone shows up and says I didn't return it... (And can I put AngryBlackBitch if I am, in fact, an angry white bitch?

REALLY?! NEGRO?? IN 2010?! <br /><br />I'm not sure about filling out my census form (and yeah im black). mostly because im black, i live in Small Town, Oregon, my son is half native american, and my fiancee is european and not even a US citizen. <br /><br />i do hope though that this "negro" thing doesnt carry on, and maybe i will fill mine out with a big X over the word. <br /><br />Also i would love to see "hillbilly" on the next one. hahahaha.Jess Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17172453695639139351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-82935864061993973762010-03-18T10:40:52.141-05:002010-03-18T10:40:52.141-05:00Along the lines of what IseultTheIdle said: I thin...Along the lines of what IseultTheIdle said: I think it would be a hoot if we could get "cracker" and "honkey" added to the next one.
