I get the obvious point of the article; something is clearly fishy.
However, let’s look at the numbers.
According to https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/IN https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/IN , the population of Indiana is roughly 6.6 million. Roughly 85% are white ( so about 5.6 million people) and ~15% are non-white ( roughly 1 million people).
Now, the article says “50 percent of U.S. racial minorities share the same last names, as opposed to 30 percent of white Americans”. So just using this as an issue, about 1.7 million whites and 0.5 million non-whites hit the first hurdle.
Honestly, if they really are using this against minorities, then they sure suck at it. They’ve already got MORE THAN 3 TIMES as many white folks as non-whites thru the first hurdle towards un-registering them!!
Serves them right if the article is anywhere close to being correct!
