I hate race counters. Anyone who counts race is a practicing racist. The Federal Government.
I put “American” as my race.
That’s your nationality. My ancestors were German and Irish, I am NOT. My nationality is American. A matter of fact, since I was born here, I consider myself a native American. But my race is human.
Mine is still sitting on my counter in the kitchen. I really need to send it back in. Is there a deadline on returning it? I will wait till the last day. I am moving later this year anyway so mine will for the most part be useless.
My race?
‘68 427 Chevy Camaro.
I would think that your species is human; your origin is your race.
I’m a human, not a species of animal. Ever heard of the Human Race.
Ours went in with “American” as the race for each of us.
Seeing who is behind it, I see this particular Census is not in the spirit of the constitution. I will not be filling it out.
They told me I had to do a Selective Service too. I didn’t. Everything is fine.
I got a call here at work the other day from the NY Dept of Transportation wanting a quote. The guy asked if we were a minority owned business. I knew he noticed my thick southern drawl and I noticed his thick northern accent. I paused for a second and asked if it really mattered. He said he has to get three quotes and one has to be from a minority owned company.
I went into the explaination that we are a publicly traded company and don’t have any one owner and such. I asked if people really judge businesses based on race where he is from. (ironic because us southerners are supposed to be the racists)
He asked if I knew of any businesses around there that were minority owned. I told him that usually when we do busines, we don’t judge or ask if they are minority or not. We simply go with the best business.
I am sure the guy was just doing his job, but damn. That is actual NY policy...... and white people just accept it.
I think that’s a fine term... for a globalist. ;-)
American by birth.
Southern by the grace of God.
I filled out the Spanish side. Race “americano” for me and “americana” for the wife.
You should write down that you are black or some other minority.
That way your community will get more free stuff.
I did the same thing.
They asked for my phone number “in case we don’t undertand any of your answers.”
Heh-heh....waiting for THAT phone call!
I don’t think of myself as a color or race. I am American and so are my family members. That is the answer they got from us.
If African American can be a race, why can't American?
Phone number: (area code)-555-1212 (that’s the number for information).
