How many of you are afraid to answer these questions?

* Name.
* Sex.
* Age/birth date.
* Hispanic ethnicity.
* Race.
* Relationship to the person filling out the form.
* Other residence, for example, military or college residence, if they sometimes live at another address.

I would imagine it is because Hispanics are the fastest growing group in America, bot is also one of the most broad labels. You could be a Spaniard, a Cuban, an Argentinian, or a Mexican, and be labeled as "Hispanic." I think they are just trying to narrow things down.

are they asking Asians if they are Chinese or Japanese?

The census, once printed up, is about the size of the Tulsa phone book. It is made available to all kinds of "educational" institutions. It is pored over by sociologists, human geographers, marketing types, ad nauseum.

The purpose of the Census, when made a part of our law, was to determine population for the purpose of apportioning seats in Congress. Hardly seems important to answer the questions beyond name, address and birthdate for the original purposes to be fulfilled.

I hear the one question they don't ask in the 23 pg document is "Are you an American citizen?" How did they forget to ask that?

HANK: So, are you Chinese or Japanese?
KAHN: I live in California last twenty years, but first come from Laos.
HANK: Huh?
KAHN: Laos. We Laotian.
BILL: The ocean? What ocean?
KAHN: We are Laotian. From Laos, stupid! It's a landlocked country in Southeast Asia. It's between Vietnam and Thailand, okay? Population 4.7 million.
HANK: So, are you Chinese or Japanese?

It would get funnier if KAHN wasn't even ethnic Lao. He was probably Hmong.
