Comments about ‘Many Americans resist race labels in census’

The headline declares, "Many Americans resist race labels in census". Yet, after reading the story it appears that most of the cases suggest that rather than resist race labels, what is really desired is to have more of them. Completely the opposite of what I would like.

I have a dream, that someday we will finally dispense with the all ridiculous racism exemplified by the every expanding "diversity" of racial categories and accept that, in fact, there is only one meaningful "race".

It is the one I always use when so insistently asked by the our government, that has become increasingly immersed in institutional racism. The race I write in is simply, human.

For a post-racial nation we sure keep pounding out racial differences. No wonder we never transcend the issue.

To claim discrimination does not exist because we have elected ONE black man out of 45...

holds no credibility.

We have yet to elect a woman, Amish, Muslim, Wiccan, etc.

'According to a study published today in the American Journal of Sociology, men whose resumes indicate that theyre gay are 40% less likely to be called in for job interviews, especially in the south or Midwest.' article

Discrimination, is as real today, as it was in the black and white video's some of us might have seen as children.

We must remain ever vigilant, against it.

And never, even entertain the idea that we have done...

'enough.'
