only if they are American, i would be offended if i was black British guy who was called an African American.

That cracked me up when I read that

Of course, people assume that if you're of African descent, you must be American.

If people like u and me assume things, we would become an ass.
(if you get the joke)

No its not, its called not having enough room to put the number of ethnicites their are in the world on a test.

I'm not exactly sure why America thinks blacks=African-American. Honestly, I just find it way too arrogant. Like they think everyone is from America.

On another note, I myself always fill in white since I'm very pale

I would never fill in white...

The problem is Flame that it isn't by skin color...colors are now races...

You should go by what you think you are. There's no arguing with that.

I agree, but then again, every political move on the federal level can be labelled arrogant, because its 99% self-serving and 1% abstain.

And Ahmed, according to the first post on page one, you fit "white", but, I think with the choices you have, "other" fits the best for now...

There is plenty of space left over...

there is plenty of pace, all is required is to consider them as equals and a will to actually believe in equality.

I don't see the point of classifying people by their race...

its usually for "research purposes"

That's not being proud of what you are...

Too bad there isn't a box for "none of your business"

Mutt, there is usually one saying "I prefer not to answer".

None of your business is better

perhaps, but they have to use politically correct language!

No there isn't Hassan

I agree with Mutt

as far as I go, i was getting it from the SAT's

Just wanted to say.

I got a paper from school, talking about how to fill the ethnicity thing...

It says:

"Black, not of Hispanic origin"
"White, not of Hispanic origin: A person having origins in any of the original people of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East."

So I guess I got my answer

so you are white....bravo...lol

Hey lol, I didn't make this definition up lol. I am just following instructions
