8) Whether or not the head of the household has Hispanic origin. HUH?

And, why would I give them my phone number?

I sure don't get that question. I can't imagine what that has to do with anything.

As for the phone number, the form says "We may call if we don’t understand an answer."

I plan to answer in plain English, so they shouldn't need my phone number.

“8) Whether or not the head of the household has Hispanic origin. HUH?”

So, Census people, how exactly does one define “Hispanic origin”? How many generations does one have to go back to find “Hispanic origins”? Is it like the ante-bellum definition of Negro, where “one drop” of black blood determined your ethnic identity?

Not real sure how I can answer a question I can’t understand, especially if there’s a $500 fine for giving a wrong answer.
