I don't need to grapple vaguely with anything. I don't want that line on my questionaire. You cannot tell me it is helping with anything. So just get rid of the line, and I am sure the world is not going to be a worse place.

Again, this is not about you. I get that you have an opinion. But if you want it to be more than one anonymous goof's quirky and apparently uninformed disposable niche social media comment, you're going to have to put in the work.

My comment is already on the top of this topic, and seems to have resonated with enough people. That's really all I expect from my comment. Maybe a little change will come from that. On the other hand, maybe YOU should put in some work, because you are really coming across as the entitled white male you probably are. The question is, is the data you gain from adding this question to every form in the US really so valuable that it outweighs the damage done by enforcing the conception that you are all different and divided by race? I doubt it, but I don't know. Do you think you know?

[wpietri]

Oh? What specifically are you claiming I'm being entitled about because of my whiteness or maleness?

[auggierose]

Read your previous comment, and it will come to you. Or not.

[wpietri]

Hah! That is exactly the kind of evasion I was expecting from some somebody whose self-declared standard of discussion is "as long as I get likes, it's good."

[auggierose]

Well, you didn't answer the question in my previous comment, so a discussion with you doesn't seem to be worthwhile. I think I have a pretty good idea by now what to expect from YOU.

You are entitled, because you do not bring any facts to the table that would support your point of view, just your own opinions, nevertheless you demand "more work" from other people. If that is not entitled, I don't know what is. And the fact that you cannot see it, even after I point it out to you, speaks for itself.
