2020 Census

[Raising Heel]

There's a mandatory question about gender and there are only two choices. Bet that's gonna piss some people off.

Also, it wasn't enough to just tell them I am white. They also wanted to know my "origins" e.g. German, Irish, Italian, etc. What if someone doesn't know their origins?

I'm at least 1/4 German...

I asked the wife if she had any German in her. She said no.
I asked her if she'd "like" some German in her. She said no.

I asked the wife if she had any German in her. She said no.
I asked her if she'd "like" some German in her. She said no.

Can you blame her? I mean, you admitted it's only 1/4.

Fortunately she's not good with measurements.

Great thread so far.

That's what she tells you.

What happens if you say you're white but list your origin as, say, Nigeria?

What do you expect would happen?

 

[Raising Heel]

What do you expect would happen?

I don't know. That's why I asked.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

What do you expect would happen?

I'd expect they'd think you made a mistake and switch your race to African American.
