This is apparently a result of endemic racism, meaning white peoples need to be killed. /sarc

because counting people is hard. 5 out of 4 census takers agree that math is hard.

When, again, is that color-blind society supposed to emerge? Ive been waiting for it since the 60s.

I get very sick of all this ‘person of colour’ Schiff! My skin colour is pale pink, so I am ‘a person of pale pink colour’. I’ve yet to meet someone who is a ‘person NOT of colour’. Would that ‘person NOT of colour’ then be ‘the Invisible Man’? I do recall a series movies and then a TV series in the 1970s(?) about ‘The Invisible Man’. I guess that he was ‘a person not of colour’. I have yet to meet someone of no colour.

Maybe they don't count the people in prison? The article mentioned that, implying that blacks were disproportionately, and unjustly incarcerated at five times the rate of non-people-of-color.

Might have something to do with where people are staying at as compared to where people live.

"...because counting people is hard."
Counting Iowa caucus votes appears to be hard too.

Go to the post office on the evening of the day the census forms are in the mail. Look in the trash cans. They will be full of discarded census forms and junk mail.

non-people-of-color. Animals of color?

Minorities always 'slip through the cracks' and are 'under counted'.
The solution is simple. Just add 10 to 15% to the count. Or more. Whatever prevents them from rioting.

Ms. Chalabi is still too young to be a sourpuss racist, in her mid-30s or early 40s or so.
