I agree From the original source code... Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. After the 14th amendment, Indians were still not counted, but all others were counted as whole persons. So, if you wanted to ask if somebody was indian or not, that's fair, since they are, legally, still considered in many ways to be a sovereign people from the United States (which is why you have casinos and fireworks stands on reservations) Asking any other question regarding race, in my opinion, is inappropriate. Our government should be color blind.
