Alpo 6,356 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 They asked race, not nationality. I suppose that would have made sense in the early 1800s, when black people only counted as a half a person, and Indians were not considered at all. But it does not matter what color you are, and has not mattered for a hundred and fifty years. Why do they want to know? If I tell them I am black, do they want to know if I am Zulu or Bantu or Watusi? Because I noticed that when I tell them I am white they wanted to know if I am English or French or German. There are only three races. Caucasoid. Negroid. And Mongoloid. It seems like "White" should be a sufficient answer. Link to post Share on other sites

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 5,522 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I was disappointed to discover we had to do it on-line... I'd planned on clearly printing on my form "U S Citizen!" Link to post Share on other sites

You can fill it out online, it's super easy! my2020census.gov Got mine and did it online within 30 minutes. I didn't answer one question because I didn't want to confuse anyone. I consider myself a "native American" (My father's family has been on this continent since nine years after the Mayflower landed), but not an Indigenous American. Link to post Share on other sites
Trailrider #896 1,734 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 There was one question I wasn't sure about, having to do with your background or somesuch. Since my family came over in the 1870's and 1890's, I put down Eastern European. If that confuses them, too bad! Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 895 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 That one question was poorly conceived. White, but then you have to nail it down? That may be great if you are first generation from French, German, or English parents. As far as I know, there is German, French, Irish, English and even some American Plains Indian (either 1/8 or 1/16, depending on who you ask, despite the fact that by looking at me you would never guess it) in my blood. With such an unknown mixture, I simply answered "American". Link to post Share on other sites

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 21,049 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I marked “White”... In the box I put “American”. I did not differentiate between European areas or countries. Hell, the DNA folks keep changing my percentages every few months. Really looking forward to when they tell me they made a mistake and I am really just a Mutt... “Mutt“!

There is strong evidence that the indigenous Americans left the “cradle of civilization “ before even the Chinese. Maybe in the next century the question will be resolved.
