For race you have to enter an origin. White (example German, Irish, English, polish)
Since "None of your Goddamn Business" was not an option.... I dropped down to "other" and typed in Native American
As long as White people (example German, Irish, English, polish) are openly under attack and discriminated against in this country, why would I self-select "White"?

Just put what origin you 'identify with'.

I went online about an hour ago and filled it out. It took maybe 10 minutes. The only question I found really interesting was the one about what kind of living situation you had and all the options like opposite sex and same sex marriage, etc.

So did I. My ancestors have been on this continent since before the revolutionary war, and my wife's have been nearly as long. Those ancestors are from a lot of different countries. I couldn't think of any better way to answer it. We're Americans.

Quick and easy. Just answer unknown as much as possible.

That's what I did but having done genealogy for a lot of people I'm pretty certain that answer is going to be totally worthless. For instance I have traced the trees of families whose most recent immigrant was from the 1700's yet they call themselves, Irish or German or English etc..

Right! Any answer to that question is "totally worthless" because the question itself is "totally worthless". What difference does it make?
The purpose of the census is to apportion Congressional districts by population:
quote:
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.
Am I going to be counted differently for representation in Congress according to race?
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Done in five minutes, I wish I'd thought to have put American as to origin. Namesake's ancestor to America came from what is now Germany, but back then was France after they seized it from what was a Germanic state during war, so German/French it was. Mutt would have worked also.

For Origin I typed Northern European which, based on my ancestry, is the most correct.

You are correct, sir.
Should be first question on the survey. Electors and representatives should be based on that number. Felons, illegals, and permanent residents, should be counted for other purposes, but not for determining representation.
I'm pretty sure that once you don't respond then you get some worker paid to come by to your house who's prior experience has been to visit every house for miles getting in people's space. No thanks.

I did it, real quick, and I also put "American" under white for each of the 4 family members. 'Merica!
