I found that first list interesting, in that I couldn't fit myself into any of the categories (besides "other"). I'm not black, asian or indian. I'm not an hispanic. I'm white, but only if not comparing to a german, or a norwegian. I guess I could fit as a "spanish" on the German list, although I'm not spanish. I'm portuguese, but I could very well be italian (which is also on the German list). I guess ethnicity is very hard to get right. Unless someone is really "dark black" or a "blonde white" it is very difficult to classify, and even then, you can't just go by on "black" and "white", you have to give more details. That's just goes on to say that ethnicity is bogus. However, in the context described by the article, it is an important piece of information. Maybe it should just be free text.
