Race: Yellow

During my latest perusing of the Angry Asian Man blog, I discovered this incredibly ridiculous picture.
Scott Johnson, a second-generation Taiwanese American born in Cleburne, Texas was issued this certificate at birth. Note carefully the "race" section.
Comments:
1. WTF?!
2. This was in 1985 though I'm pretty sure I would believe it if someone told me it happened in the Texas of 2010.
3. WTF?!
4. I don't even think this is racism. It looks like it's just pure ignorance but perhaps that's just because I refuse to believe someone would purposefully be racist on another person's birth certificate. You never know, though.
5. How come poor Scott doesn't get a middle name? His mom and dad got one.
6. I like how they have a separate place for ethnicity (not shown) and "IS FATHER OF SPANISH ORIGIN?" I applaud the first guy who decides to be a smart ass and writes "SEE 8B, STUPID"
7. I find it funny that it's called the "Bureau of Vital Statistics." True, it means statistics concerning life but I just can't help but think that they're emphasizing "These statistics are incredibly vital and crucial, unlike most of the other stupid statistics the rest of the Bureaus deal with"
