As an American Indian I found the whole asking of race in government forms to be a bit crazy. I usually end up putting “N/A” or equivalent.

- fouc 3y agoAs far as I know, the race question on government forms is for census reasons. But this thread raises an interesting point.. asking about race or about caste on government forms could be potentially creating extra divisiveness, by making people identify themselves one way or the other and making them conscious of their differences.
