This issue was big in my community in the last census. We learned that
there are a few ways to be recorded. In a mixed household the first
person listed determines the household. As an example, a white adult
listed first makes the household white with an Indian spouse. If the
Indian were listed first it would be an Indian household with a white
spouse. Also, it is better to not answer a question than to give an
untrue answer. The penalty is less, if you are into that kind of thing.
