Not an intensely compelling question, but Churchill seems to think it's important.

Who counts as "Indian," "Black," "officially poor," etc. of course matters a great deal in bean-counting. The fewer of them there are, the less money the federal and state governments need to hand out.

So you're saying that obsessing over ethnic definitions is the business of rulers, and not dissidents and revolutionaries?
