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”...
************************************
Quotas were the big thing for HR depts. in the ‘80s-’90s. I had a co-worker friend who told me that he checked the box “Native American” on his application form. He was just a regular Caucasian like me, but met a quota and was given preference under Aff. Action.

That’s where all this PC language is misleading. All of us born in the US are Native Americans, but it doesn’t mean we are American Indians.

I guess they could make it more confusing and have a box for Indigenous American...
