Friendly reminder that the 1940 Census was actually used to drive Japanese Americans to concentration camps. This is why the citizenship question matters.

Secret use of census info helped send Japanese Americans to internment camps in WWII

The abuse of data from the 1940 census has fueled fears about a citizenship question on the 2020 census form.
