Census
Posted by ArmedGeek on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 in News
From Mark Krikorian at The Corner via Gabriel Malor at AoSHQ:
Fully one-quarter of the space on this year’s form is taken up with questions of race and ethnicity, which are clearly illegitimate and none of the government’s business (despite the New York Times’ assurances to the contrary on today’s editorial page). So until we succeed in building the needed wall of separation between race and state, I have a proposal. Question 9 on the census form asks “What is Person 1′s race?” (and so on, for other members of the household).
Apparently, “None of your fucking business.” is not an option. Mark, however has a proposal:
we should answer Question 9 by checking the last option — “Some other race” — and writing in “American.”

Dude, we must be psychic, because I was just there, reading this!!!!
I got my notice in the mail to expect the census form. I wonder how many trees died. Did anyone inform envirowackos of this??
So that must be what woke me up.
Smartass
Deb and I read this, earlier today as well. Discussing it while outside for a smoke break, Deb thought we should all take it one (proper) step further … at least all those who were born here, should claim Native American status. I chuckled, and shook my head in a positive direction. She (as Deb is always; it’s a natural wife’s law or some such.) was absolutely right. And so, this will be what we annotate on our census form this year … “Native American”.
i like to put in human. it seems to piss off the most people.
