Just about everyone in my neighborhood indicated on their census form that they were a particular race, that I know good and well they are not. The word is that the census has never prosecuted anyone for "lying about their race". After all, how can the census prove you wrong? For reasons unknown to me, the census only takes the position that a person's race is what they say it is -- and some say everyone has a little of everything in them.

But what good is a census if large numbers of people in certain areas are not being all that truthful about their race. The people who run the census say that over 99% of the importance of the entire census circulates around the answer to that single race question (why is that?). And now large numbers of people are messing that up but good by not being truthful (let's just say it, lying).

It may best/worst way to protest of them all, at least on my block, but I can say, it got the pot holes fixed, and money is still rolling in.
