I oppose the sub categories under Asian Americans - it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and racially discriminatory, and I refuse to disclose any information relating to my original ethnic background. I urge you to remove this section and label it Asian American as you do to the other racial categories.

我直接寫在選項下麵: prefer not to provide racial information。further division of asians is unnecessary and unconstitutional, unless the rationales of such division are clearly provided.
In all your official forms, I urge the Bureau to STOP using the race category regarding the Asian-country origin. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Please remove Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and other sub-Asian check boxes, and replace them with a generic Asian/Asian American checkbox, to ENSURE that Asian Americans are treated equally as other races.

這個是我提交的:
I urge the Bureau to change the format of the race question by removing Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and other sub-Asian check boxes, and replacing them with a generic Asian/Asian American checkbox. This is the least you can do to ensure that Asian Americans are treated equally as white and black Americans.
It is really concerning as the Bureau is sub-categorizing such a small group into so many sub sections. What is the purpose? I don't understand why would the Asian community be the target of separation. Because, we are the "model minority"? So are we being punished for being law abiding citizens that seldom complaints or protest? Are we the new Jews?
What would the Bureau use with such detail data? Is that being used to work against my children? They were born and raised in the United States of America. They were purely 100% made in America. Currently, the Asian decent children are being punished when they apply for higher education admission because of the color of their skin. Being Asian decent is not a sin. To further divide a already small community really worried our community.
We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking to be treated fairly.

每次有亞裔犯罪這城裏就有人出來說: 那是個越裔,和我們華裔沒有關係。這個時候怎麽就不見有人大聲反對這種亞裔細分呢?
一個人犯罪,大家把信息說得更詳細一些又有什麽關係,也不會上升到什麽層麵。現在美媒報導連顏色都不敢報導了,為什麽還要對亞裔細分?而且從政府層麵進行細分收集信息帶來的後果可是不堪設想的。

不覺得那裏歧視了。
人家問個問題,大不了不答就是了。要說歧視實在是看不出來。

華人在分類榜上單獨出現如此早,既說明了華人在美國社會中的重要性,也為在種族分類上的不對等開了個先例。因為隻有黃種人或亞裔才是與白人、黑人對等的分類。用祖居國來分類自華人始,我們是與有榮焉呢,還是惴惴不安?畢竟是曾經被單挑出來排斥過的。
不管是不是有用,抗爭是一定的。拒絕填寫種族,period,更別說亞裔細分的選項了。

這段文字很客氣,太客氣了,我加了一段氣憤的留言,指控他們的做法是違憲的種族主義做法。
第二,關於人口普查裏的亞裔細分,2010年的人口普查表格已經是細分的了,填過的同學估計還有印象,網上也可以查到的.2020年的普查表格隻是照抄沒有改變而已。如果現在普查表格在征集意見,不妨多多反對,爭取把它從表格裏拿下來。如今政治環境不這麽極左,倒也是個機會。
第三,其實極左派搞AA和亞裔細分的那幫政客,已經注意到亞裔反對細分。他們很有技巧一箭雙雕地,說奧巴馬時候人口普查細分亞裔人家都從了,為何現在不從了,肯定是現在政府種族歧視嚇得亞裔不敢接受細分了。但真相是,奧巴馬第二任期開始大搞種族配額,把2010年人口普查的亞裔細分問卷形式用到了學生入學,工作機會的各種問卷調查上。輔以種族配額製,扼殺亞裔機會。這也是為什麽2016年大選不少華人轉投共和黨的原因。

的PDF文件第11頁,意思相仿。不讚成亞裔細分的可去表達意見。
