How can anyone make valid judgements from statistics involving race in the US?

How can the US government make judgements involving race in the US when there is no really accurate data concerning the race of people in the US? They would need to test everyone's DNA for their race! Many of us do not know ourselves !!!! Sometimes it surprises us when we find out unusual things & we will never know... As far as I can see, someone must be judging us from outer appearances because most people do not and cannot answer surveys identifying race with any accuracy.

    Ignorance about RACE is rampant in the whole world and also religion is also IF we were blind could we see color / and if we could not HEAR would we be able to understand why these things are caused by people who does not know what the word EMPATHY means ! Everything that can be wrong is caused by people. Why can't we all live in Harmony are we not all OF THIS WORLD. CAN WE not see that we could get by without all of the strife we have. Should everyone read the Book of PROVERBS in the Bible and live by those words in the manner that Our god would want. even other peoples beliefs and great in their Chosen Holy people, and or Spirits/ So why are people killing their Brothers and Neighbors. They have been doing this since time began CAIN AND ABLE!!!!! Race is just an added problem along with people who are ignorant in their way of life. IF each person were Blind and Deaf would it be the same way. I really feel in each of us is a heart mind within the skin that surrounds us each. it does not matter what is on the outside but It does matter what is on the inside. You can always agree to dis agree with anything without a battle of mind and words and action. So there is really no real need for these statistics to be taken, they are just a good guess to something we already know. Perhaps with efforts we can adjust our thoughts to a world of Peace and Harmony. This is the only world we have, and Our life span is not that great to allow this. and in a hundred years a new world of people will be here. WE have came a long Hard way of the facts involving how we live and are! Will it be better later what can each nation make better that will allow our fellow man to be at peace with all>
