In a nation with a fundamental principle that all persons are created equal, with equal opportunity and application of law, the only possible reason to continue to collect and use racial demographic information is for discriminatory or divisive purpose. The government only needs to count heads of citizens to perform its functions; not what color they are.
The US government and all candidate campaign teams are prohibited from collecting and disseminating racial demographic data.
We can help to end racism by eliminating the constant focus on it.
