Nope. But I'll dig around tho'. The picture is blurry but you can make out the words on the census 2010 propaganda effort.

It is important to interview your living relatives to gather information. You have to go to the places where they have records. You may check books,too. It can be a time consuming.

In Southern states, "colored" records exist. Some of them can be marked "M" under Colored records. M stands for Mulatto. Tracing your American natives ancestors can be difficult due to oral history like mine. Some tribes converted to Christianity. I am very very impressed with those Asian countries, because they can trace their family all the way to 1000s and even further back.


Ah, funny, Souggy.

the gov't played colorblind for so long that it is just hard to determine what color race are you, You can't even figure out if you were American American colored, or Native American colored, or what. Because people did not care back in those days . They only cared if you were white.
 
We have completed the questionaire for the Census. It wasn't easy since there are technically 3 families in our household, but we got it done. My MIL is one family, my mother is a 2nd family and hubby, the kids & I are the 3rd family. 6 people, 3 families.

As far a genealogy, I have no problems tracing mine.

I can't see deaf as being a "race". That's asinine.

Yeah, I can see it.

This is the Internet Era. My assumption is that they are concerned for their own privacy being invaded like Facebook, and myspace for instance. That is probably one of the reasons they do not want to put down their names on the forms except head count...
 
Check out my blog again. I just found out who the culprit of this fortune cookie propaganda attempt.

why don't you post it here?
 
So, this Tsue Chong Co. of Seattle is getting paid by the government with our tax money? I wonder how much it costs to produce 2 million fortune cookies.

Saved it for leftovers for the next night of dinner. Really good food. It's the place where you pick out your selection and put them in a bowl and they cook it for you on a hot grill.

Head count doesn't mean a thing. They want to know age, gender, race, and all so they can figure out WHOM they can allocate funds for schools (that's for kids), the minorities (that's like.. non-whites), the females, et all.

Head count means NOTHING. The Constitution makes it clear, it can ask more questions as directed by law.

YOU FAIL.

sounds like discrimination to me.

I'm a Texan resident, and did fill out the form for around 10 minutes. Did mail it. A few days later, I got a census postcard. I was in Southern CA two weeks ago, and did see the Census Billboards there. I am very curious about race thing, because the minority in the US is becoming the majority. I am one of them.

What's wrong with Census records? If you are into genealogy, you can look up the list of names on the census records for family history research. Awesome! :-P

Good for you, Barbaro. You are one of the more responsible Texans.

The minority is quickly becoming the majority. The last projection I saw is that minority will switch to majority in 2025. It may not even take that long.

Right.:roll: The government doesn't have a right to know your gender or your race. But they do have the right to know someone's sexual orientation. Contradict yourself much?

OMG...the government knows who is male and who is female!!!!! They know what race people are!!!!! OMG!! The horrible things they will do with that information!!!! :run:

Looks like the conservatives are beginning to believe their own scare tactics!:laugh2:
