Rolfyboy6,

The US census bureau doesn't count race and ancestry as the same animal at all, and it is truly bizarre how they come up with one being race, and the other being ancestry.

It is also important to remember that the figures reflect self-reporting. There is no way to verify the accuracy of what people claim on their census questionnaires.

Also, the census is not allowed to gather information about religion, so Jews don't get counted at all.

It is truly bizarre.
