According to the U.S Census each different skin color is a different race ?
Q. So, since according to them Colors are races and races are colors... How many races do we have in America? I only know ONE Race: The HUMAN race. Colors, religions, ethnicity, and language are different issues.

A. You're misreading the information. What the law actually says is that the actual individual census data will remain private for seventy-five years, but that aggregate data (for example, numbers of households with computers) will be reported immediately.

How was information submitted for the 1920 and 1930 U.S. Census?
Q. Did the head of household submit the info? When looking at images of the actual census, who's handwriting am I looking at? If the information is incorrect, who's mistake was it?
Asked by nikkifrdm - Sun Aug 26 13:35:01 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I believe the handwriting is that of the census taker. Sometimes the census taker did not understand the person giving the information, or vice versa. From Boston College web site... Research Guide: Census Data "The decennial census is the only data gathering operation in the United States that is mandated by the Constitution. The first census was taken in 1790 and has continued every 10 years, in the years ending in "0".

Do you think the U.S. census should have a category of multicultural for race and ethnicity?
Q. Why or why not? Would it make a difference in the accuracy of the census? Would it make a difference to you?
Asked by carol h - Wed Jun 24 19:37:46 2009 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. No. Multicultural is not an ethnicity it is just stating a detail. The census's job is to report the race of the people. A person who is part irish,, italian, anglo, german, french and polish is Multicultural, but wouldnt it be dumb if they checked off multicultural when they should check off white? Because they are white?. Multicultural would just complicate things, then you would have all those "Mixed" people, (The ones who are 1/128th this and 1/1000 that) checking off multicultural when they really are just black, white, or asian. So no, the only thing that should be on the census is Black, white, Asian, Pacific Islander, Aboriginal

A. Judy, the Census did NOT finish their hiring. Each state and the local census offices has their own schedule of when they do the operations. For instance, in my home state of Utah Census field operations ended last month. But where I live now in San Diego we're right in the middle of the non-response follow-up phase. Also, there are more than 1 operations going on. Most people are only away of non-response, which is the people who didn't fill out the forms. But there's also group quarters enumeration, update enumerate, quality control, homeless population enumeration and the after the fieldwork is complete there are office operations to compile, count, verify, etc all the information.

What is the bare minimum information you're required to give for the U.S. Census?
Q. It seems that the government is asking waaay too much personal information for the 2010 Census. Can I, an American citizen, be threatened with fines and/or imprisonment if I only answer how many people live in my home and ignore the rest of the intrusive census questions?

A. It won't happen. The decennial census is created to track important information that determines voting districts/representation, financial aid to communities, and federal programs. There's nothing inherent in any of this to ethnic origins. It took 15 years just to get the Bureau to allow more than one answer to the "Caucasian, Black, Native American/Pacific Islander" question and another 37 to get a sub class for which Spanish-speaking country the responded was born in. The other surveys that the Census Bureau does on a monthly and quarterly basis center on the economy (Consumer Price Index is determined by the CE survey and the Unemployment rate is determined by the Current Population Survey). None of these has any reason to determine… [cont.]

A. On March 28, 2000, US District Judge Melinda Harmon has granted a temporary restraining order against prosecution of any American who chooses not to answer questions other than the number of people living at their address. So at this point in time you are fully within your legal rights to refuse to answer any question except for the number of people in your home. You do not have to give your name, your ethnicity, your gender, your sexual orientation, or even whether or not you are a legal resident or citizen, or even whether you legally reside at the address. Our advice to you, should a census taker actually come to your door, is to inform them that asking any other question other than the number of people in the home may be grounds for… [cont.]

A. He is indeed attempting to do just that. For years it has existed as an independent department under the umbrella of the legislative branch. Now it is being moved to the executive branch for reasons only known to the Saith Lord who now occupies the White House. Think about it. Senator Judd Gregg turned down the job for unclear reasons and ACORN is going to play a major role in the taking of the census, the pay-off for all their years of undermining and deceiving. Someone seeks eventual absolute power and will stop at nothing to get it.

Asked by Daisymae - Wed Oct 21 20:13:39 2009 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They have to physically show up at your door. Otherwise, any amount of bad data will inevitably creep into the census. The census takers all have ID which they are required to show by law. This does not mean, however, that someone might use a fake ID. If that is the case, then you will know immediately, because they will use the ID to get you to open your door. If this were to happen, they could care less about census data, which isn't really useful for stealing your identity, anyway. The census taker will not ask your SSN, nor are you required to provide it on the forms. The census takers are in more danger from the public than the public is from them.

A. The job was suppose to be 8 weeks or more. After 3 weeks the team has run out of work. No work, no pay. No one knows what is going on. Very disorganized. Paychecks automatically deposited but no one has gotten a pay stub so unsure if getting paid for mileage as promised. After 2 1/2 weeks of driving up and down mud roads fuel pump went out. That was a $350 repair. Was it worth it? I suppose. Been unemployed for a while so it helps to get out and work and feel worthwhile again. You work alone and drive a lot. Most people are not at home so working in the early evenings has been best. Training is an over kill. Tons of paper rules and regulations that seem to be lacking in common sense. Very disorganized, but it is a job for a few weeks.
