Census Fun

I took a look at the census questionaire that came in the mail this week and, once again, was disturbed by two of the questions on the form. Why does the government want to know if you believe you are "of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin"? Why does the government want to know what race you believe that you are?

How does your answer help the government ensure that you are represented in the House of Representatives? The lawful purpose of the census is to ensure proper representation in Congress. If you answer that Conquistidors once raped an ancestor or that muslims captured your ancestors and sold them at Badagry, Nigeria you only get one representative in Congress. So these ethnic and race questions are unlawful.

How can the government know if your ethnicity and racial question answers are truthful? I can claim to be a Columbian negro if I choose. Or some other race. How do children of inter-racial parents list themselves? Check "other" and write "mutt" in the provided space? What a load of subjective crap.

The only purpose that I can see for these ethnic/race questions is for the government to redistribute wealth from one ethnicity or race to another. The Constitution never called for this practice. So it is unlawful. Since the government is engaging in unlawful activity then one must assume that the government is unlawful.

Get creative with questions 8 and 9...I am.
