An analysis of the responses so far by the Center for Urban Research at the City University of New York's Graduate Center shows that counties with higher percentages of white residents tend to have higher response rates than counties with higher percentages of black and Hispanic residents. At the census tract level, neighborhoods that are home to more African Americans, Hispanics and Asians have lower response rates. Among the areas considered hard to count are neighborhoods that have more immigrants, minorities, renters and poor people.
White people lead the way (once again) in Census participation. The Census is just as important as voting. If you don't stand up and be counted, then your opinion of how tax dollars are distributed is irrelevant.
There's no excuse whatsoever for not taking the few minutes to fill out and mail your Census form.
I thought it was all about accuracy, thereby you should be encouraging everyone to send it back..
Come on. I'm pretty sure it goes without saying that everyone should submit their Census forms. However, empirical data, (ie. percentages) show that minorities are falling way behind. There's no excuse for this. NONE.

There's no reason to not fill out the form. It took us all of 5 minutes (max) to fill out the form, and about 27 seconds for me to walk out to the mailbox.
But it really doesnt matter if the minorities send them in anyway...nothing is going to change for us, so why bother?
