And really, doesn't statistical sampling take care of that kind of thing anyway? *sigh*<br /><br />I just love the reminders that not filling it out is breaking the law.

I love the census, and I'm rather geekishly excited about it but ya, that ethnicity question is crap. I am roughly 10 different things, John is about 10 different things, and only 5 of those overlap with me, which makes Peanut like 15 different ethnicities, most of which aren't even on the list. American, OK? Been here for 200 years American, or arrived during the Irish Potato Famine American, or left the Amish farm American.

I mean I know what it's asking me, but I'm really not comfortable answering all of those questions. I've also gotten 3 mailings telling me I am required by law to complete this and countless emails from work/school/etc. Ugh.Beth Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871747257728576563noreply@blogger.com
