The US Census: How accurate is it?

[AKA_Monet]

I thought legally, folks could put down any thing they wanted to in regards to ethnic categories? Even if it was other or Martian...

I dunno what to think about your question... I do consider myself of Afrikan descent--which is black for all practical purposes. But my BULLISHT "racial" classification does not coincide with my true genetic heritage--Which is more important to me than just being classified by an archaic system that dictates "there's mo' negroes than you can shake a stick at"...

So my issue is if the Census just classifies folk irregardless of what was selected, then is the Census (consensus) still be trying to make sure "THEY" keep us negroes in our places???? Hmmmmm????

Let's hear it for Apartheidic history in the making... It's the Final Solution!!!

whatever...
