The U.S. Census Bureau is experimenting with eliminating the word “race” altogether in its 2020 survey, according to a report from the Pew Research Center on Thursday.
As part of its final research push before finalizing its 2020 wording, test-census forms will be sent to 1.2 million households later this fall in without any references to “race” or “origin.” Instead, the forms will ask: “Which categories describe person 1?” Respondents will then be able to choose from the usual list of racial and ethnic categories.

They need to drop it from college applications too.
Doesn’t the census form say “sex?”
Race never should’ve been there in the first place.
Not that it matters to me. I haven’t been counted since 1980.
Hell, I even brought trespassing charges against a census worker 5 years ago. They left me alone after that.
Then, AS A SURVEY, what’s the ‘data’ worth?
Well this will be a matrix, maybe a Color Wheel -- "Find the color that most closely matches the back of your hand".
I can't wait for the Sexual Orientation matrix.
The deletion would be to hide, from Americans, especially Caucasians, what is taking place; things like immigration, amnesty, etc.
They’re still asking the question, just dropping the word “race”. Still playing George Lakoff games.
I usually check Other and write in American
But, of course the only reason they are considering dropping it is because to have it disadvantages the bad guys somehow. Like maybe we won’t like the makeup of the post-America?
Everyone should check the minority boxes...
all of them!
Caitlyn Jenner’s CALICO Cat.
And whites should now answer black for a whole host of reason...
1. Make sure obama thinks your neighborhood is diverse enough...
My first thought, also, with the proposal coming from the Obama regime. But some might decide it's still needed to properly gerrymander congressional districts to elect the maximum number of minorities to Congress.
But we’ll still keep hyphenated Americans, the only country that classifies its citizens into ethnic groups.
They will include the 58 “genders” so as not to leave anyone out.
“But some might decide it’s still needed to properly gerrymander congressional districts to elect the maximum number of minorities to Congress.”
If they can’t wiggle around that, it would stop the change.
Or just so they can say whatever they want because there is no longer any way to refute claims related to race.
Also, this may be a response to the rise of children of mixed race.
Interesting, no?
