You know… this stupid shit just never stops. Sigh.
I love the irony that the racists who endlessly fight — literally to the point of Civil War — against political, legal, civil, and human rights for minorities then want to turn around and use every possible bloodily-won minority concession for themselves.
Group wants southerners to put ‘Confederate Southern American’ on the Census
With roughly one week until census forms are due, a group of Confederate rights activists is urging southerners with Confederate ancestors to declare themselves “Confederate Southern Americans” on census forms in order to qualify for national origin protection under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Federal law makes it illegal to discriminate because of a person’s birthplace, ancestry, culture or language. The South Carolina-based Southern Legal Resource Center believes that people with ancestors who were citizens of the Confederate States of America should be entitled to ethnic identity and protection since the country no longer exists.
