[DeTomaso] NPC - Census

[Clark Family]

Tell that to interned Japanese-Americans in WWII

Quoting from: http://www.census.gov/srd/papers/pdf/rsm2002-01.pdf
--------
Prewitt (2000) stated, “the historical record is clear that senior
Census Bureau staff proactively cooperated with the internment, and
that census tabulations were directly implicated in the denial of
civil rights to citizens of the United Sates who happened to also
be of Japanese ancestry”
--------

I filled mine in, just mindful of government actions during
times of strife, like Abraham Lincoln suspending habeas corpus.
