And which ethnic communities they send lots of human
investigators/workers into. The minority (a misnomer, as whites are
now the minority in many places) communities are up in arms that so
many census workers are fanning out in their neighborhoods, fearing
that they're going to be rounded up and shipped back to Guatemala and
Honduras, but they've got it all wrong: the census workers are being
deployed to minority neighborhoods to get the minority count up. More
minorities means more gravy from the Massah in the Big White
Plantation House.
Counting white people is....uninteresting.
(I'll be called a racist by our usual Anonymous poster, but I don't
fucking care. The U.S. government is a toilet of special interest
groups, chief among them the so-called "minority communities."
Incineration is too good for most of these rodents.)
