Did you know our country achieved racial diversity in 1994?

Over at BTQ, Austin Milbarge has this post about a federal statute that discusses "Indians" and "non-Indians."

I thought this was funny, from the history of the statute:

Amendments:
Sept. 13, 1994, in the first undesignated paragraph, substituted "non-Indian" for "white person".
.

Oh, fabulous. It's nice to know we started recognizing that we had more than just "white people" and "Indians" in this country.... .... .... .... in 1994. Sweet.
