I saw this story on The Guardian website about how the US Census undercounts people of color. The initial bar graph has drawings of pencils and erasers. The eraser symbolizes how minorities are undercounted and the pencils show when they are counted twice. The graphic caught my eye because of the pencils and erasers used for undercounting and overcounting. The graphic has a pencil and eraser for all the people who were counted by the census. The graphic is labeled "Who Gets Miscounted In The Census." The data that is used came from the census bureau.
