Because studies have found that when White people are made aware of the actual demographic situation, they become more racialized. They want to hide the data.

On census.gov, the major tables are all stuck on 2010 still https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=ethnicity&tid=DECENNIALCD1162010.P3

The site is nearly incomprehensible, but I see no ethnicity maps at all, even though there are other maps which require just as much detailed data. The third-party demographics map sites all lag way behind once the data comes out, even though the effort should all be automated.

This claims to alert to when the data is available: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USCENSUS/signup/22746

    Its a platform for sharing knowledge, some of it is propagandized, but most articles on the site are fair and non partisan.

    True and I still use Wikipedia for some things but just remember that if they lie about something you know about they are probably lying about a lot more that you don't know about. Tucker just had the founder Larry Sanger on last week and he publicly stated that he's disgusted with what Wikipedia has become.

    I would try to use alternatives like infogalactic.

    I thought the census was delayed because of COVID?

    This is a late reply because I just noticed that Census demographic maps are available, and I made another post about it here: /s/maps/comments/8ed5/

    Edit: The original post, since this somehow triggered it to be deleted:

    Might be a dumb question and not really a debate question, but I was looking for new cities that I might want to move to in Minnesota and noticed that the 2020 census demographics are not being shown on Wikipedia. I noticed most places in the prior census declined in whiteness by around 15% between 2000 and 2010 so I am worried those nice 85% white small cities might actually be a trap but I can't find the data anywhere. Does anyone know whats going on?
