That's interesting but what I reacted to was this paragraph;

>According to census data, this block—and hence this house—had 14 residents in 2020: one Hispanic person, seven white people, three biracial people (white and black), two multi-racial people (white, black, and American Indian), and one person of “some other race.” There were supposedly eight adults and six children living in the house.

Why is this important? I love how they trail off at the end there. So if you don't qualify for bi-racial you're "some other race". What if your grandparents were biracial? Does that make you some other race? Where does this end?

Don't mistake this for me trying to make a point about "woke". I'm a Swede who truly finds it fascinating how the United States emphasize people's "race" instead of their heritage (nationality).
