Is there a conspiracy going on with the 2010 Census?

My mom recently got her Census form in the mail, and she was sitting down to fill it out. She later came to my room and said that there were derogatory terms on the Census when referring to specific ethnic groups. She said for Hispanics there was "Chicano" down as an option, and for Blacks "*****" was an option. Now i have enough common sense to know that these are not politically correct terms for a specific ethnicity. Also, there wasn't a spanish version of the Census along with the english one. I'm thinking this Census is a plot to falsely show that whites are still the majority race in the US, and that they will not become a minority by 2050. Because if there wasn't a spanish version of the Census mailed, then that eliminates millions of Hispanics that cannot speak english at all, or it's their second language. Then the terms Chicano and ***** will offend most Hispanics and Blacks, so then there's millions more that will throw their Census in the trash. My mom almost threw ours in the trash, but instead she filled it out and just wrote a note at the bottom expressing how she was offended by it. Do you think this is a conspiracy or am I paranoid?
