Nobody has ever asked what I meant by it.
I think they were afraid to ask.
I have taken to checking “other” when I am given the chance. If a form asks for race, I write “human”.
A couple of months ago, I checked something that indicated biracial. Now, I am a very white old lady with the map o’ Ireland on me face, so I got great amusement from seeing the clerk stealing furtive (she thought) glances at my visage looking for non-white features.
“Other” is always good.

LOL. Having been (uggh - not my fav job) a recruiter for several years for a multi billion dollar organization, you read the response from the recruiters entirely incorrectly.
The recruiter then has to put his/her best guess on your application (if the company does significant federal business), so you think you’re messing with them, and they’re thinking “great, another butthead who won’t check the frikkin box on the app”. 9 times out of 10 it’s a black person doing so, out of fear that being black is a detriment to being hired. And the remaining 10 percent were white guys who thought they were making a real statement.
