Census..

[Historic NY]

well the stuff arrived in my held mail today. I did it on line. What an odd Census more concerned about whether I was of some latin origin. I got to the part where the really wanted to know what country is my heritage from. WTF do they need this in 2020. So I put American and it was accepted.

Just saying this census is going to be worthless in 70 yrs. Now give us the 1950 census.

1. I wondered the same thing when I completed mine this afternoon.

What possible difference could it make where our family originally came from 100 or more (maybe many more) years ago. I didn't have a lot of time so I answered the questions just to get it over with, but WTF?

2. Given the ethnic nature of the questions, I put European...

it took mine, too.

3. That's what I thought, too

I remember filling out the 2010 census, it had general questions about employment, income, and how long you have lived at your current location.

4. I haven't gotten around to doing mine yet.

How many countries do they let you fill in?

For me, all four grandparents came from Ireland, but for a lot of people in this country their ancestors came from lots of different places.

6. At least 2 because that's

what I put, but I thought it was odd to ask to differentiate.
