I answer every question pertaining to race on government forms with “human”

If they don’t like it they can stuff it. I tell my kids to put the same thing. Never had a problem yet.

I was taught in an industry seminar about interviewing not to ask a question unless the answer would be used in the decision to hire. The point was to avoid “illegal” questions by keeping this rule in mind. I would look at this and conclude that they intend to use this information for some purpose (that I might not agree with).

In most cases, answering such questions is entirely voluntary. After all, what can they do to you if you do not answer? They are walking a very thin line in trying to force an answer....

I had to fill out a questionnaire recently at work because the government has redefined the categories. There is now an option for “Alaska native.” As a native of one of the lower 48 states, I felt discriminated against.

Its all about the money...Federal funds to the school administration. Federal Control of the schools.

I refuse to answer any questions about race or household income when the school district gets nosy, as school districts do. In Michigan, they want every kid possible to qualify for some extra funding, which never makes it to the classroom. Screw 'em. After several years of this, they don't even send me the forms anymore, just make sure the medicals are up to date.
