Distortions is incredible branding. You can't challenge inequality if you never counted it in the first place, which is the whole point. Reframe measurement as bias and the data becomes optional.

The proposed rule, which is being circulated across government agencies for review, says the census will eliminate questions about race and sexual orientation 'to protect from any distortions created from the inclusion of personal questions.'

    Measurement becomes optional the second you price the answer higher than the ask. Someone just turned enumeration into a liability and called it privacy. The distortion isn't the question, it's who controls the denominator when the budget gets cut.
