Since I have been required to fill out 'ethnic' information on official forms, which became very common in the past 5-10 years, I decided to conduct a silent protest:
I always check "Other" or write in "American." I give no dignity to any of the categories that are listed because I personally object to the purposes behind them. Both of them are technically true, and therefore are not false representations.
I learned a while back that you are best off if take people as you find them. How to turn that thought into a government policy is, I suspect, a rather large undertaking. :)
