Chicago had a dismal response to the census survey, so the mayor announced a "Census Cowboy" to ride into communities to improve response. I was going to say "isn't a cowboy on a horse a symbol of white supremacy?". But I guess not - hopefully he doesn't get gunned down.
Nope. Dig into the history of the Cowboy. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/lesser-known-history-african-american-cowboys-180962144/
