in terms of the census it's not something that i wound up writing about. in the book that i was originally was going to write, it was something that i was going to spend a little bit of time and how people identified themselves and how that has changed over time in an official construct in terms of -- you know, how the government actually identifies people or allows people who identified themselves. i ended up not writing about that. but i find myself swimming in that conversation to some degree based on the race cards. because so many of the race cards come back, deal with questions of identity and deal with the sort of internal dialog that people have with themselves in trying to figure out how they identified themselves or how they should identify many other members of the family. some of the submissions come from people who are raising children who don't look like them. or who have grandchildren who represent a rainbow or, you know, come from a sort of wider diaspo diaspora. and i try to set aside time if i actually have information and how to reach som
