标题Re: [心得] 美国2010年普查
时间Wed Mar 10 07:48:13 2010
今年十年才一次的人口普查,
请记得在 Race 一栏圈选 Other Asian,
然後在下面写上「Taiwanese」,
千万别因为找不到 Taiwanese 这栏又觉得麻烦,就直接圈选 Chinese。
这有差吗?也许有人会问。
当然有差啦。如果你是美国政府,在分配资源的时候,
你会留一小块给那个普查结果不存在的族群吗?
如果美国政府以为在美台湾人只有小猫两三只,
那各级团体将来在归类台湾为「Taiwan, a province of China」时,
还需要客气吗?
台湾人到时再来抗议,有力道吗?
最重要的是,我明明就是台湾人,拿着台湾的护照,取着台湾的名字,
为什麽我偏偏得要在普查的时候用别的「代号」?
不需要,不需要。我是台湾人,
I am Taiwanese,这是事实,简单明了。
就像我们在填写任何文件的时候一定都是据实以告一样,
写 US census 时,请大家也诚实地告诉美国政府:I am Taiwanese。

: to 版上各位版友 :) 关於2010美国全民普查
: http://www.taiwaneseamerican.org/census2010/ (颇可爱的短片~)
: Please tell your friends, family, and anyone else you know that is
: Taiwanese American to check "Other Asian" in Section 9, and write in
: "Taiwanese."
: As some of you may already know, the US Census is taking place this year.
: The US Census counts everyone residing in the United States -- in all 50
: states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Island Areas-- as
: mandated by the US Constitution every ten years. Forms have began to ship
: out and are due April 1st, 2010.
: Recent projections estimate that there are over 1 MILLION Taiwanese
: in the United States, but the 2000 Census recorded only 144,795 people.
: In order to correct this undercount a national campaign has started to inform
: Taiwanese people to "Write in Taiwanese" on their Census forms.
: Why is this important? Census data is used to distribute CONGRESSIONAL SEATS
: to states, to make decisions about what COMMUNITY SERVICES to provide, and to
: distribute $400 BILLION in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments
: each year.
: Please visit this website for more information and to view a Public Service
: Announcement that was filmed to bring awareness to this undercount.
