It's only common sense if one uses the liberal definition of "ethnicity". The Greek word εθνος (ethnos) refers to descent.

There is no common sense in government-if there were it would be 1/10 the size that it is. My family came from Spain to the new world-I’m Caucasian in appearance, and by descent, mostly Hispanic/Spanish, but who knows what else after 400-500 years in the new world-only the last 250 are well documented-and not perfectly, at that. Anything earlier is just bits of paper and oral history-I’m guessing the history of any old family is similar, no matter race or descent-so why allow government or anyone else to use it to divide people?

My dad and husband were career military, I grew up color blind and I remain so.

Those forms are just used to fill racial quotas, and are in themselves racist and divisive-like I said below-make it two boxes-”Human” and “Other”...
