| | CENSUS 2000? LEAVE IT BLANK! HERE'S WHY... |
| | Nor is it difficult to image some future census being used to round up "suspects" in a nationwide manhunt --say, everyone of Arab or Muslim persuasion after the next terrorist bombing. | | | You can strike a blow for privacy, equality, and liberty by boycotting almost every question on the census form except the single one required by the Constitution: How many people live in your home? | | | The fact is, the information collected by the census is used to dole out an estimated $180 billion in taxpayers money, to justify expanding wasteful government programs, and to allow the government to continue to discriminate against Americans based on race or ethnicity. |

| | Census 2000 and Racial Information: Reverse Discrimination? |
| | Why would supposedly historically disadvantaged minorities choose to avoid being counted by the census in the first place when it is obvious that allowing themselves to be counted could result in millions or billions of dollars in race-based federal aid? | | | When we couldn't get some people to respond in 1990, census workers asked neighbors about them. | | | Census 2000 racial data is used by the government to discriminate against non-minorities. |

| | INTERRACIAL VOICE - Guest Editorial (Naomi Zack) |
| | And at this time, any wide-scale primary and secondary school instruction about the scientific flimsiness of race is likely to be strongly opposed by the same established interests who have opposed relinquishing one-drop rules in interpreting the Census 2000 data. | | | By the 1890 count, distinctions were made within the mulatto group down to "one-eighth or any trace of black blood." The "one-drop rule," whereby black designation resulted from any black ancestry, no matter how remote, become the social rule of the land by 1900 and it was adopted by the census in 1930. | | | As David Goldberg argues, although the U.S. Census is now broadly regarded as a valuable resource for corporate planning and a basis for various government allocations and representation, it has not provided a stable system of racial categorization from decade to decade. |

| | Article 2 - Muster Case Study - Nash Family |
| | As the introductory pages to the 1823/4/5 Muster List and the 1828 Census note, the extant copies of both of these returns were alphabetised transcriptions made by the muster clerks shortly after the muster and census returns were taken. | | | Therefore a convict who had arrived in 1788, who had received no lengthy colonial conviction, and whose current status forty years later was "CP" almost certainly had to have received a life sentence; any other sentence (7 or 14 years) would have expired by then with the ex-convict being recorded as "free by servitude". | | | The conclusion that Maria was a convict has apparently arisen as a result of entries recorded for Maria in the 1816 Convict Return, 1823/4/5 Muster List and 1828 Census, which were made some 30-40 years after her arrival in the colony. |

| | CensusScope -- About the 2000 Census |
| | The Census also serves as an invaluable source of information for businesses, journalists, researchers, students, and citizens alike. | | | The fact that the census is taken every ten years and elicits a wide range of information for all, or a very large sample of the whole population, makes it a very valuable data source to study social and economic change for the country as a whole, and for smaller groups within the US. | | | Another reason that census information is valuable for social scientists is its ability to provide an over-time record of change in the nation's population, household and housing characteristics. |
