As it was to do with your recent dealings with them, maybe it is to evaluate whether people of all races feel they are getting the same level of service/care/satisfaction? The question may not be as insidious as it seems?

I see your point. My issue with the āraceā thing is that we are all one raceā¦Human. I would prefer if they asked about culture or ethnicity, of which there are many.
This is from the old days, but questionnaires usually asked āSex?ā. Rather than put āMā or āFā, I always wanted to answer āYESā.

Pretty soon weāll all be one homogenized glob of single, fully-mixed race species anyway now everyoneās so globalized, so thereāll be nothing to argue about in a couple generations when everybodyās composed of 5% of every race.
Maybe more than just a couple generations, but itās inevitable.

Reminds me of the Blue Mink songā¦
"ā¦what we need is a great big melting pot
big enough to take the world and all itās got
and keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
and turn out coffee colored people by the scoreā¦"

Time to re-watch The Fifth Element a great Quarantine movie (!) To your point, a prediction of the future (races) you see many of the supporting parts being played by Freckled Lattes (Oh hot Stewardesses on the ship!)

They drop so much rock salt on our roads that everything growing along the sides croaks and stays dusty white looking forever. My only pair of really good boots (Gortex hiking boots) finally fell apart from the salt. Took 20 years but I couldāve got another 20 out of those boots, lol. I cried.

I need to rewatch that. Think I saw that before the turn of the century (Jeebus, I sound old saying that).

Hear hear! I also canāt stand the choices they give you, theyāre so limited:
- American Indian or Alaska Native. ā¦
- Asian. ā¦
- Black or African American. ā¦
- Hispanic or Latino. ā¦
- Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. ā¦
- White.
I am none of the above. My blood is Mediterranean of the sub-caucasoid race. So, under White I write in Sub-caucasoid 
Get a load of this. They all look like the same man wearing different makeup.
Or you can make these gingerbread men to teach your children about raceā¦no donāt.

I hate all the uncertainty, angst, and dread over PTMA, Shipping Bans, etc., and the possible impact. Because I mix for more than myself and co-workers, I feel I have a heavier than solo burden to prep up. That is all.
OH, and the fact that we went from āJust do THIS, to Flatten the Curveā has turned into ā¦

I so much sympathize with you. Iām so sorry for your extra burden and wish somehow that our government could be convinced of its unscientific absurdity and exposed for its greedy connection to the Big Tobacco Settlement. My only hope is that this new administration which is supposed to put people before money and care about our health, will get its head turned around by some good common sense lawyers and advocates. Big T and Big P are our main opponents. We have to find a way to bring them down or circumvent their influence. Heck, at this point Iām willing to be a vape mule and run through underground tunnels to keep people from returning to cigarettes.

Iām sure some will go cross eyed thinking of this burden LOL. Itās not crippling @muth, but I get orders via text not every day, but about every other day now. I kept using the VC Vape-Opcalypse calculator to see how long my gallons of NIC would last, and it was 17 years !!! Sounds great right ?? We all know it wonāt last that long, but add in increasing friend of a friend sales, next thing you know, āWait, whatā ?? !!!
Weāre in the FINAL stages of getting our house repaired from the August Hurricane of LAST year, so thereās payments to sort out and all that, recovering depreciations, code upgrades, all that crap, so itās a lot, JUST at the same time.
Running the numbers muth.

Absolutelyā¦overwhelming. It is to me just hearing about it. When I get hammered with everything all at once I sort out the most urgent first and try to stay focused on thatā¦until urgent #2

Oh yeah. As Iāve gotten older, I have more hair growing out of places it shouldnāt than where it should. Aging can be so much āfunā.
