When the Census form eventually arrived I got the short one. I answered only the question about the number of adults living at the address. I wrote "Aryan" for my race...I figured if the "favored minorities" got to have dozens of sub-classes ("Asian American, Pacific Islander, but not Chamorro Islands," or somesuch), then I could certainly write down "Aryan."
[For those not in the U.S., the Census is a slave to political correctness. We have the spectacle of those of Spanish descent, as in "from Spain," writing down some variant of Hispanic for their "race," even though a Spaniard is of course of European, aka white, stock, while most Mexicans are much different. Amerindian, or whatever.
"Beaners" BTW, I wonder if anyone else on this list is aware that the inmate population of Phoenix Federal Correctional Intitute is about 40% Mexican. Not "mexican-american." The average American's illusion is that when an illegal alien is found he's immediately kicked across the border. Well, the first time maybe, but there is now a 2-year sentence for illegal entry for repeat offenders. Very convenient, because the majority of prison guards are probably ex-US Military-types who "need" to be kept in the Federal fold. For every couple of beaners they keep, they get to hire another guard. Jim Bell
