What gets even dumber is that these state tests ask specific questions like "Are you black or latino?" WHAT? Are they profiling? It's obvious. Sad to say, statistics do show that majority of black and latino score low. But they want to know that information so they seek it, racially. And they shouldn't.
Oh, here's where it gets annoying. Apparently, in California, they like to ask what asian or hispanic ethnic group you are, but they alienate white and blacks.
They ask, if your asian if you're korean,japanese,chinese, etc. If you're hispanic, it lists if you're cuban,mexican,etc.
But they never asked if you're german,dutch,irish,scottish,english,french if you're white or you might be ethopian,nigerian,egyptian if you're black or african.
I am "mixed race" and I don't like to claim such a title and it's really really hard to answer these stupid questions. Why do they need to classify me by my skin color or genetic ancestery. Why can't everyone be known as a human?
The point is, this causes more discrimination, plus people are more and more diverse everyday. They'd have to be asking for every little racial or ethnic group then.
Should we eliminate race labeling?

Race Labeling from the government is the real reason this whole world is racist, because we continue to put it in society.

Statistics that have a use. You don't understand why they use these statistics. This is a certain population of so called "minorities" in the U.S. continue to live in poverty because the government profiles them and encourage eternal welfare.
It's a sick system we live in. They just labeled that George Zimmerman guy a white man even though he wasn't. Because the media knows it's strange for a "minority" to kill the "minority" so they had to caucasianize him for the benefit of racism.
