They are only asking if they are citizens, not if the are legal/illegal.

“her family’s Iranian heritage”

She should go for “Aryan”, then.

I fail to see why Race should even be a question. Count noses. That’s about all.

Just go to the paint store, there are many shades of white. If I recollect correctly, these folks are known as sand-white.

I thought the last census allowed for multiple answers for 'race.'

2010 Census:

Unless SCOTUS rules otherwise , we need the detail to redistrict. (ie divide Newark, NJ Essex County and Jersey City , Hudson County between Blacks & Hispanics. Dems Sires & Payne)

In the end only a few will have to bear the burden of being called the color white. All the blessed people are called by their geographical origins, except western Europeans. We are stamped with the shame of a boring color that doesn’t even describe our skins.

The correct answer would be “Other Asian”.

Iran is in Asia. She should them put “Iranian” or “Persian”.

1. Moorish people are about as white as Saltines

2. Persians should have never allowed some Grand Mufti to change the name of their country to Iran, which literally means “the land of Aryans”

One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race or nationality or tribal background.By doing this Mexico has avoided “balkanizing”, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority. Plus it could play a significant part in shutting the political playing off racial divisions down.

Any time you try to categorize by race, you wind up with anomalies. For example, Spaniards and Portuguese, who are as European as, say, Poles or Scots, may not want to be counted with Latin Americans, nor do Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, etc., regard them as fellow Latinos. Then with the so called MENA description. you have Jews, who are generally descended from the Biblical Jews, as DNA studies have shown. Neither the MENAs nor the Jews are exactly in love with each other.

“Census Bureau Says Illegal Immigrants Are Not Citizens, But Democrats Disagree”

And, once they circumvent the Electoral College, your opinion won’t matter.
