Because I am an older American, I have to fill out many forms at hospitals, Doctor offices, Government documents, etc., in which they all ask for “Race”. The thought occurred to me while filling out the latest form that I should just put “American” where the blank is for race. What is race anyway? It is a term that is used to determine ‘benefits’, or to discriminate against the “White” majority (which is no longer true in this country anyway). As Martin Luther King said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. Why don’t we refuse to acknowledge “race” at all? Tell the CNN’s and ABC’s of the world that they should “cancel” the word “race”, and instead classify folks as “American” or non-citizen. That is the only distinction that is important. I will fill out future forms as “American” in the race blank, or “other”..
Exactly!
I have found that race is optional—they do not require people to fill out that part. So I don’t.
When it is required, I hit Other, since I could theoretically claim something else.
If everyone stopped filling out the race question, it would be great! The government old no longer be able to sort us by race!
