Don’t get your hopes up. The government is not going color blind. It is just switching words.
The healine on Drudge makes you think that the Census Bureau is getting out of the race business but the article at Politico tells a slightly different story.
The Federal Nose Counters are not going to ask about race anymore because they finally realized that Latino can be anything from a blond Basque of Northern Spain to a very dark man from Puerto Rico. They run into people like Elizabeth Warren and Ward Churchill that claim to be American Indian. So instead they are dropping the word “race”, getting out their thesaurus, and coming in the back door.
Will they still keep racial statistics? Of course. Will they still use it to disrupt our republic. Count on it. But at least you will not need to tell them you are a hyphenated American.
If only they would have a box for Human Race I would be glad to check it.
