Didn’t mean to be rude. If the numbers weren’t used for actual grants (and quotas), why would the census be spending its billions advertising especially with minority groups telling them the opposite?

Thank you. I know but it can play both ways.
When I hear those commercials that basically say; "wave your hand to get the free money" a blood vessel bursts in my head.

Personally, I've never been comfortable identifying my race on forms.
