The CENSUS: A satirical approach
Have you all filled out your census form yet?
I’m not filling it out. No. I won’t fill out the Census form because I want our name ARAB spelled out in black ink on the Census form … with all the other names … I pay my taxes … I am NOT writing the word ARAB on the form … the US Government should write it on the form for me …
They do that for everyone else.
The Census form has a long list of “recognized” ethnic and racial groups:
WHITE
They list Hispanics five different ways on the Census form:
HISPANIC, LATINO OR SPANISH ORIGIN … Mexican American … Chicano … What country does Chicano come from?
They list Black people three times on the Census form :
BLACK … AFRICAN AMERICAN … NEGRO
American Indian or Alaskan Native … they even give you a space to write in your “TRIBE”
There are all kinds of ASIANS …
Asian Indian … Japanese … Native Hawaiian … Chinese … Korean … Guamanian or Chamorro … Filipino … Vietnamese … Samoan
OR … “Other Asian” such as Laotian … Thai … Pakistani … and Cambodian.
And they even have
Pacific Islander … Fijian … Tongan.
I know why they don’t have ARAB written on the Census form … They have already printed 28 other ethnic and racial groups … and THERE’S NO MORE ROOM for us anywhere on the form …
