Got an email from the CAS Office this am. Now they want to know our race so that they can monitor the demographic breakdown over time. I looked for the "none of your damn business" option in the dropdown box, but the closest they had was "No Response." I'm sure that the default interpretation for this response is "Non-Hispanic White."

I have a dream that one day when a questionnaire asks about race, the first thought we will all have is "NASCAR or Formula I?"
