Native American. I was BORN here.

 

When I try to use this as my "ethnicity" on polls, that is no longer a choice. I am Caucasian, according to the US Census.

 

I am a descendant of Swedish and Dutch peasant immigrants - a fine heritage! :ph34r:

 

Form Merriam-Webster:

 

Main Entry: Cau·ca·sian

Pronunciation: \kȯ-ˈkā-zhən, kä- also -ˈka-zhən\

Function: adjective

Date: 1658

1 : of or relating to the Caucasus or its inhabitants

2 : of, constituting, or characteristic of a race of humankind native to Europe, North Africa, and southwest Asia and classified according to physical features —used especially in referring to persons of European descent having usually light skin pigmentation

Also, many Sicilians (like me, for instance) have Thalassemia. An inherited anemia closely related to Sickle Cell Anemia, which of course affects Africans.

 

Sign me up bud, not being Sicilian, but rather a tad anemic.
