Spare me the bull****. You know exactly what I mean. I'm interested in culture and I'm not going to apologize for it. It's not out of any mean-spirited or bigoted reasons. Growing up in a non-diverse metropolitan in Louisiana, I simply find culture and ethnicity interesting. I do still have a right to certain interests right? Or is that not allowed anymore? In this PC world, Idk what is and what isn't offensive now.

It is - pinot grigio is the white wine. I could bring that one out, but given the nature of the thread, I figure that anything associated with "white" may be radioactive.

I'm quite aware that this is a nation of Immigrants. It's not so much as that I care so much about one's nationality, but being interested in culture. If I'm friends w/ an immigrant or one of a different ethnicity than me, I would hope that they would be comfortable enough to share that info w/ me. You know be able to trust me. Why hide it?

But taking the statement at face value, what does diviiding people by race have to do with providing "quality information about the nation's people"?

The only purpose given for the census is to determine representation for Congress.

The other questions are superfluous, and may be unconstitutional.
