I already give them my citizenship. In the area where they ask how much melanin is in my skin, I write in “American”

I took a brief look at the Constitution and it really only discusses counting people, so all they get is the number of warm bodies residing in my house. The rest is usually left blank.

I took a brief look at the Constitution and it really only discusses counting people ...

Actually it does say a bit more (and leaves it wide open!)

Article 1, Section 2: "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. "

I know a lot of people question this, but this is what the government uses to justify more that just number of bodies ... the first census actually also included several questions beyond simply a count. Constitutional Topic: The Census

If they asked: "color" I'd put 'purple"(But now that that color has been usurped, I write "aqua"
