The first census used these categories:

1. Free White males
2. Free White females
3. All other free persons
4. Slaves

And has changed many, many times since 1790

But, sure, go ahead and dig in your heels. The Census Bureau is as good a hill to die on as anything else

Sad.

No. Anything below the Mason-Dixon Line is considered the south.

I also find some tension in the posts. Like some of the posts say that the southern schools are so much better because the kids are bette looking and more social and have parties….and then if someone says “well it seems like some of the southern schools might be kind of focused on parties and physical appearance,” they get all upset and cry it’s a stereotype. If all the schools are the same, that’s fine. Or if you can’t generalize by region, that’s also fine. But I’m confused on what the takeaway message is.

And, also, who cares?

I just read the article about sororities in The Atlantic and can't believe the shoddy Journalism. It's just a biased op-ed based on "information" the author gathered exclusively from social media.

The author watched a small sliver of Greek life, and wrongfully applied the exception to the rule. Which you ALL are ALSO DOING.
