Like I said, who cares?
Apparently, yeoman does, or did you not understand that the first time?
Is there something *intrinsically wrong* with asking that question? Or do some of you presume to know that yeoman is asking because of some racial prejudice or malice?
I don't know enough about yeoman to know if he's a xenophobe or if he finds census interesting, so until there's some overt indication that he's evil, I'll pass on the Condemnation Train.
I have to wonder how many of you would respond in a similar manner if a black person had said the same thing, especially if you were face-to-face. And how many of you would list "things black people say"?
And personally, I don't see a problem with people wanting to identify a race with their nationality. Really, how does that hurt anybody? Yet some of you seem deeply offended.
People is funny folks.
