The U.S. Census Bureau has released the following breakdown of the population of California:

Non-Latino whites. . . . . . . . . . . . 40.1%
Latinos (Skin slightly darker) . . . . . . . 37.6%
Asians (Skin frequently called yellow). . . . . 13.0%
Blacks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6.2%
TOTAL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 96.9%

This begs the question, "Who are the remaining 3.1%?" What about Native Americans (formerly called Redskins), blue people (Smurfs and Da'vis), little green aliens, and superheroes (such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Oprah Winfrey)?

Actually, I believe I have the answer. They are the people who successfully filled out the form, and declined to specify the irrelevant racial information. I was unable to do so, because no questionnaire arrived in our post office box. That allowed census personnel to come to our door to eyeball and profile me, and that is undoubtedly why first born and I were listed as "white," although we identify ourselves only as "Americans."

Actually I can trace my lineage back to the family of Noah, the sole survivors of The Flood, but with no last name and no pictures, how do we know where they came from or what they looked like.

We have to stop categorizing people by their differences. We minorities don't like it.
