Racist Washington Post has warning for white people

This is the best the Post can do? White people, welcome to the rest of the world?

In the 2020 census: “For the text box under the ‘White’ checkbox, the census instructions helpfully state: ‘Print, for example, German, Irish, English, Italian, Lebanese, Egyptian, etc.’

“Still, this change is a good thing — especially for white Americans.
“Why? On a basic level, it could be a welcome exercise in empathy. You’re offended? Confused? Welcome to the world of being a visible minority in America — perhaps you might relate to those Asian Americans who are so frequently informed that they couldn’t really be from Connecticut, or African Americans whose countries of origin are obscured by the painful haze of slavery. It might even be good practice for 2044, the year the United States is projected to become a majority-minority country.”

Here’s the thing: People use the census as a way of finding out where they came from, but it’s none of the government’s business. Look at old censis forms and you will see names listed by household, age, sex, place of birth, father’s place of birth, mother’s place of birth and employment. That’s it.
