We collect these data through survey respondents’ answers

The "we" is referring to government agents, that's not "self-reporting" if you pay the government to conduct and organize the information. They cross-reference their data with immigration and emigration inflow and outflow. The data is consistent insofar as the ethnic designations are, which they are not, i.e. some English-Americans identify as simply "American." or people of Spanish origin consider themselves "white hispanic" or whatever. It's not self-reporting, it's self-designating one's ethnicity that you're talking about. That's not self-reporting if they aren't filing the fucking paperwork. UnDeRsTaNd? You can't just make shit up and expect those agents not to follow up with more questions, that's what follow-up surveys are for.

Citation on the census workers being able to challenge racial assertions?

Just kidding, there are no citations, because that would get smacked right the fuck down in court.

I'm not sure why you are trying to lie about this shit. Racial demographics are absolutely self-reported, a worker hanging in paper with information coming only from the client means it's self reporting, The worker handing in the paper does not fucking magically change the information on it or how it was collected.

Why are you trying to gaslight? What is your agenda in lying about how American racial demographics are self-reported?

They don't "challenge" anything you retard, they just ask questions, organize the answers and create follow-up surveys when the aggregate data is inconsistent. Sure a few people here and there can straight-up lie, but that's not "self-reporting" that's just fucking with the Census Bureau. I knew you'd double down.
