BE PROUD. BE RECOGNIZED. BE COUNTED!
We would like to remind Taiwanese Americans to check off "Other Asian" in the Race and Ethnicity section 9, and write in "Taiwanese" because there is no check off category.

Lyrics--
You're taking part
in the Census twenty-ten
Youre unsure
About the race youre gonna choose
'cause there is no Taiwanese
On the check-list
I got my pen
and Im tempted to check Chinese
But Im not gonna,
cause Im simply Taiwanese
And being Chinese isnt really the same thing
My friends take time
Tryin to decide
Should they pick Chinese
Or just be uncounted?
I am telling you
What Im gonna do.
So this is what I say
When you come to me and ask
On the census
Twenty-ten
Im gonna check the
Other box and write that
Im Taiwanese
A proud Taiwanese
Census twenty-ten
Walking the streets
Im telling people about my choice
I keep on thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And Ive got a shirt
All my friends here have one too
Its getting people to sit up and be aware
They think its awesome
And I gotta agree
Its pretty cool to be
Taiwanese
My friends take time
Tryin to decide
Should they pick Chinese
Or just be uncounted?
I am telling you
What Im gonna do.
So this is what I say
When you come to me and ask
On the census
Twenty-ten
Im gonna check the
Other box and write that
Im Taiwanese
A proud Taiwanese
Spread the news and
Help us get the word out
Be counted
And just write in Taiwanese
Other Asian—Print Race
Census twenty-ten
[Instrumental]
So when you receive
The census form packets
In your mailbox in March
Dont forget to check the box
Write that you are Taiwanese
I know youve got the pride
And youre dying to show it
Think I know the solution
So please write in Taiwanese
On the census
Twenty-ten
Im gonna check the
Other box and write that
Im Taiwanese
A proud Taiwanese
Spread the news and
Help us get the word out
Be counted
And just write in Taiwanese
Other Asian—Print Race
Census twenty-ten
Write in Taiwanese
Youve got pride of your heritage
Write in Taiwanese
Census twenty-ten

美國政府將在4月1日展開人口普查,台僑團體發起在表格填下「Taiwanese」台灣人,拒絕當「Chinese」中國人的行動。還特別拍攝宣傳影片,因為10年前,明明在美國有1百萬的台灣裔,但是當時調查結果,卻只有14萬人填寫「Taiwanese」,可能導致美國福利政策,對台灣人不重視,因此有組織拍廣告放在網路上,要台美人爭取自己的權益。
