Information. The same reason why we need to know the makeup of other countries, areas or even species. What the population looks like helps to make other decisions down the road.
For example if sharks hang in one place and you wanted to map out a swimming area...you may want to avoid that particular area
We're talking about people, not sharks. You're getting closer. So why does government make decisions based on race, and why isn't that racist?
Because again, racist means you believe one race to be better than another. The reason why government needs that data is because govt is responsible for governing. If they dont know the makeup of the citizens that live here how can govt govern for the people?
