And of course, they all say , Not me, jack.
Meanwhile the daily paper article said that a lot of the money goes for research. What kind of research, pray tell? It can’t be scientific research because it’s not based on random sampling.

The latest govt atrocity is that now medical offices require you to check boxes and sign a paper telling your race/ethnic group–plus the ethnic declaration slot is Latinos only!! What about my Ukrainian ancestors? Sheesh.

Somebody in the US Dept of Health got a wild hair up, and decided they have to know more about how African-Americans, whites, and Latinos are served by the health system. There are better ways to find this out than forcing people to sign a racist declaration. Race is not a scientific category (except for fruit flies) and should be eliminated from all official blat, including the census.
