On Ethnicity

On documents and forms they often ask me to select my ethnicity. I couldn't help but notice that all the choices have corresponding places but my choice is simply "white".... I've never been to White before but I'm sure it's cold... probably too much snow there. They really should have "pink" or "beige" on the list. ....or maybe seasonal options like "tan in the summer but a waxy grey in the winter".... yeah, anyways. ;)

Isn't a curious thing how our ethnicity is white.. wait.. I thought I was Finnish.... Oh wait, that's a real thing- let's pick an arbitrary color instead hahaha !:) Love it.

HAHA!!! Exactly!!! That's what I though... I have a lot of different European blood in me so couldn't that make us European-Americans... if some people are African-Americans? Or how come we can't just be Native-Americans? We were born here too! lol
