Here are the (short form) 2010 Census Questions.

What do your name, telephone number, age, date of birth, sex, race, whether you are "of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin," whether you rent or own your home, whether you have a mortgage, and whether you have another home have to do with the enumeration of the "number of persons in each state"?

Almost everyone in this country can claim to be of Latino origin. My wife is of Italian origin, the original speakers of Latin. Just for good measure, they spent a couple of generations in Puerto Rico before coming to the United States.

And me? I have Huguenot ancestry. Huguenots originated in France and many moved to the Netherlands when it was a province of Spain (including mine) before it became independent. French is a Romance language and part of the Latin language family, so I have as much justification to claim Latino origin as anyone else.

Now, where are my government freebies and affirmative action points?
