I haven't got anything yet. I do remember that, for the the last 2 or 3 censi, I've had to check off Other and put American in the Ethnicity box.

My best friend has done the same thing; and the last time he did it, some bureaucrat called him and threatened legal action unless he changed it to one of the categories. After telling the government to go to hell, he never heard from them again.

I did the same. No repercussions.

"I've had to check off Other and put American in the Ethnicity box."
last year I was "chosen" to take an energy use survey ( i guess this was started by nixon ) and the very nice lady asked me my ethnicity. I told her american. She told me that I had to choose. I told her my family has been here for 5 generations, and that makes me american. She wrote on her form that I was an american.
