Race: Human. Yeah, I put that. Didn't give my phone number either. Gave name, age, DOB, and # of people living in household (1). That's all they need to know.

[LUconn]

Do they even need to know your DOB? They just need to know how many people so they can get the congressional representative numbers right. Everything else is just information mining.

Well they can probably get it anyway, I don't care if they know what day I was born. We already give the government our DOBs for driver's licenses, its on file with the states through birth certificates, SSA has it, etc... Besides, they might send me some type of worthless card, but of course I'll check for money first

My form is really long. If that's the typical form, then I suspect it discourages most people from filling it out. I keep putting it off because I just don't feel like sitting down and reading all that crap.

Mine wasn't that long at all. Just check a couple boxes and right a couple numbers and done.

ours is 5 pages long. My favorite part? You can't be "Hispanic" but you can be 6 different types of Asian. Nice.

So I probably got told 50 times yesterday by CBS play by play guys to fill it out. And TBS commercials has one of those Tyler Perry shows telling me to fill it out.

Oh, the hispanic question is the one above that. Your options are: Mexican, Chilean, Argentine, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Nicaraugan, Honduran, Panamanian, Brasillian, Cuban, El Salvadoran, and some, but not all, of the other countries that are south of the US.

[PAmedic]

yes, you can pick your ethnicity, but for "race" it says for the purposes of this census, Hispanic = White. Or something like that.

Has anyone seen the commercial where they try and do a hip-hop tune/song to persuade you to mail the census back? I don't want to call it rap, but I think that's what they tried to do lol.

I threw mine out with the rest of the junk mail.

My roomate wrote down his race.......

Oh boy.

i wonder if this hc bill will result in more non responses from those who viehemently opposed the bill.

[WinthropEagleFan]

i wonder if this hc bill will result in more non responses from those who viehemently opposed the bill.

Which would then increase the costs to conduct the census (ie. more in-person visits)...which seems a bit counter-productive.

i'm pretty sure the money is already wasted either way.... 10 bucks and hour to joe schmoe or to a war in the middle east.
