Dear United States Census

Its that time again..the time when you get to put millions and millions of us who are native to this country, but are comprised of this "melting pot" behavior you tout, in 1 bland category that doesn't even begin to highlight our rich individual cultures.

I (and both maternal and paternal sides of my lineage) are not simply Black, African American, or Negro, but we are American Creole. Descendants of French and Spanish settlers, Africans, and Native Americans. We eat different foods, speak different languages, and even live our lives according to different superstitions infused with spiritual and religious hues, that vary greatly from other Black Americans.

Please do a historical review, and perhaps consider the fact that not all Black people are the same...really.
