MSLF Census suggestion

“Little wonder that Americans find the Obama Administration’s Census Bureau’s emphasis on race a little off-putting, perhaps even worrisome.  Fortunately, Mark Krikorian provided a possible remedy.  Noting the words of Justice Antonin Scalia in the famous Adarand ruling—“In the eyes of government, we are just one race here.  It is American.”—Krikorian suggested answering “Question 9 by checking the last option — ‘Some other race’ — and writing in ‘American’.”  He argued, not only is it “a truthful answer” but it is also a way for “ordinary citizens to express their rejection of unconstitutional racial classification schemes.”  Until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a final, binding ruling on the subject, that will have to do.”  (From Mountain States Legal Foundation)
