This whole thing about white vs asian vs black vs me

Remember in 2000 all the ads on TV trying to get Hispanics to not avoid the census.
The Census Bureau divides Hispanics into "white" vs "non-white" !

Check boxes for racial/ethic identity are a plague for programmers,
and I've never figured out what real information is to be gained from it
or how the data can used accurately.
