A census taker showed up at my rural home in 2010. When it came to the question of “race” she handed me a card with a list on it and asked me to choose which one was appropriate. I looked at it and most were “country of origin”, not race. I pointed that out & she got a panicked look. I finally told her my race is “American”. She burst out laughing and said that no one had ever told her that. She wrote it down.
how good is that... great story...
I frequently put “human” if race is asked for.
