本文以研究机构语言政策和实践为基础，研究人口普查数据收集中种族分类的合法性，探索美国人口普查中的语言意识形态。它追溯了两个世纪以来十年一次的调查中语言相关问题的变化，将它们置于移民和本土主义政策和模式变化的讨论中，以及种族霸权观念的演变中。有人认为，美国人口普查历史上一直将语言作为种族的指标，并作为将非英语语言的使用者种族化的手段，将他们构建为本质上不同的，并威胁到美国的文化和国家认同。
This article builds on research on institutional language policies and practices, and on studies of the legitimization of racial categories in census data collection, in an exploration of language ideologies in the US Census. It traces the changes in language-related questions in the two centuries of decennial surveys, contextualizing them within a discussion of changing policies and patterns of immigration and nativism, as well as evolving hegemonic notions of race. It is argued that the US Census has historically used language as an index of race and as a means to racialize speakers of languages other than English, constructing them as essentially different and threatening to US cultural and national identity.
