True, federal racial discrimination laws seem to have been put in place after 1942. I suppose what I find most interesting about this situation is that the census still requires you to identify your race and the race of those in your household. In light of the census's record of abuse of such racial data, I asked my roommate not to identify my race when the census agent came to our house years ago . However, the census agent returned a couple more times, threatening my roommate with legal retaliation if he didn't comply with divulging my race. Despite the threats, the agent eventually stopped showing up, and the promised threats never materialized.
