IMO the Census is actually becoming silly when it comes to race in America because so many of us are mixed. I do understand the data for understanding the need for diversity and documenting history, but it's getting pretty confusing. I checked the other box and wrote in Creole because both my parents were Creole, because both sets of their parents considered themselves Creole and were also so mixed that you couldn't tell what they were...especially with their accents and English being their second language. I could have checked "Other" and wrote in ... a French, Native American, African, Spanish, Black dutch (German) mix...aka American human

I completely agree with this! To me, this is just another invasion of our privacy. Check our tax returns if you want to see how many people live in my house. As far as my race, that's none of your concern. My "race" is American, and that's all you need to know. My cencus went to visit the garbage can lol!
