On my census form I was about to check “White”, but I noticed my hand next to the box and instead wrote in “Pink”.

So, we have no actual proof Obama is human.
There’s nothing in the Constitution that actually requires that he be human.

Negro still has non-offensive currency in the US. The United States Census Bureau gave Negro, along with Black and African-American, as one of the race choices in the 2010 Census, specifically because some people still identify themselves by the term.
Screw that. Get Aretha up there, she’d keep the rest the world in line.
Damn. I want the state department to amend my birth certificate to say something like ‘pikey’ ‘mick’ ‘bogstomper’ or some other derogatory term for the irish in the race category (yes I know its a nationality…but still.) unfortunately those govt. bastards have no sense of humor
