None of those questions were on the census form that I filled out.

I wasn’t asked any of those questions. I keep hearing that but don’t know anyone who was asked for any information besides how many are in the household, is this your permanent address, that kinda thing. I didn’t even have to fill out the ethnic questionnaire if I didn’t want to.

The extended form is…well, extended. Here’s a sample from the 2000 census; I’ll poke around and see if I can find the 2010 version, but like its predecessor, it goes into a lot more detail than the short form.
