If you were a person of color than..you wouldnt get one to pitch. You would have been property. Your owner would get it and fill in which would include you.

I wasn't referring to back in 1810, I meant today. If I were a person of color today, and were planning to answer those questions asked since the first census, I'd be legally in my right to pitch the census form because it wouldn't pertain to me. I wouldn't be white, and I wouldn't be a slave (well, except to the Federal Government, perhaps...).

Stop talking nonsense.

I did say some had other questions, that were no longer asked, like how much you paid for your home or your place of employment.

In 1810, it was perfectly normal to have a census worded that way. If you notice, there is a place on that form for slaves.
