Census is senseless
    #26633017 - 04/27/20 08:54 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

So my snugglepuff was occupied at a task last night so i did his census for him.  Whenever i did mine before it was bodda-bing, sent that jawn over in a flash.  But his?  He's Puerto-Rican, so after checking that box it takes you to the next page where they ask about racial identity.  In a finer print, you get something to the effect ov 'Hispanic is not considered a race'.  WTF?  Scrolling down you get all sorts ov options like Samoan, Vietnamese, and so on.  But if you're Latino/Hispanic you're not considered a race and get to pick one?  We picked black since it matches his hair and cock better than white.  Can you really just pick anything though, like Mongolian if that's what you want to identify with?  But really, WTF is up with not being considered a race?  I've heard about it before and did'nt give it much thought due to my apparent white privilege:tongue:, but doing that census really drew up a WTF moment.  I know that racial discussion is frowned upon in the pub so let's keep this civil, but i just have to ask what this is about and why there's not a bigger stink about it?  It's not even like you can leave the section blank.  If you're Hispanic/Latino you have to pick some race to identify with to advance in the questionnaire.  Just seems hella degrading and racist for 2020.

If the race selection is your biggest problem with the census, you aren't looking very hard at it.

That's the problem when you try and put all people in little boxes, they never fit. It's interesting for statisticians to try, and irritating when you can't find the box to check your snugglepuff in.
