Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
I propose that the Census form have a check off box for “Liberal Traitor” to be a designation. Big Brother can then identify who they want to support and give free medical care to.
Juliet, the converse is also true.
Just like the left relabelling communism because people came to understand what the label meant.
I am a white girl and I am thinking of checking off African American since the Scientific community says that the birthplace of man is Africa.
At least they've finally junked the bogus classification "caucasian".
Japanese-Americans aren't included in the above list.
Here’s a thought. Since we are supposed to be a color blind society, let’s stop asking people’s race.
El Presidente es negro. Does every speaker of espanol need to appologize?

"Specifically question No. 9 asks "What is Person 1's race?""In years past I have written, "Human", on the form.
Cordially
The funny thing is, those classifications don’t really make sense. White? That’s a color. Alaska Native? That’s based on where someone is from. They need to junk the entire idea that we should be classified in this way in the US. I am a native American. I was born here.
Do you ever hear back from them?
After all, that WOULD be the only one involved, yes? Everything else is ethnicity and local adaptation.
“The biggest obstacle I have is that the Hispanic community is very reluctant to give information to anybody related to the government,” Roberto Belen told the Island Packet newspaper .
Heck....I’m reluctant to give info to anybody related to the government. I guess they are not concerned about white people not responding.
I think they would prefer it if we white folks didn’t respond.
Three designations for one race???
The problem is that Blacks keep changing the term they use to refer to themselves. The latest designation, as I heard on NPR, is Afrikaan or Afrikaans. Yes, to refer to Black Americans. They've now appropriated a term already in use in Africa, to refer to themselves here in the US. The people on the program who used this term are in academe.
The race section is ludicrous. During the Reagan administration, the census incorporated the nonsense word “Hispanic” as a race.
Hispanic can theoretically mean one or more of the following.
1) From North, Central, or South America and the Caribbean and Pacific, or Spain or Portugal.
2) May have any skin color from dark black to pale white, any hair and eye color. Any type facial features.
3) A racial mix of any of the following: Black, Native American, any variety of European and African, as well as Oriental.
Ironically, about the only affiliation that could be compared to Hispanic, would be “Britannic”. That is, anyone from anywhere that had even been substantially occupied by Britain. And there would be substantial overlap between the two groups.
And yes, “black” and “negro” are likewise nonsensical.
I am a white guy and I am thinking of checking off Cracker since the Scientific community says that white people have no color.
THAT’S Cracker-American to you!!!!
