I did a review of my profile at my health clinic today when checking in for a video visit. I noticed some odd things in their Ethnic Background choices list. What do you see?
This clinic is in a VERY liberal part of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It's yet another case of liberals dividing us by microsegmentation.
No “American Mutt” option?
I didn’t see Murican on the list.
“Declines to State” should be “F*** off a$$hole”.
Obviously, Spanish and Russian are NOT European.
Since the list is so long, maybe they should add like Estonian or Montenegrin!
This list really does not make any sense! I would select Other.
“...Select all that apply ...”
-
I, being a trouble maker, would select them all.
Other than Russian and Spanish, all Europeans are one group, but for other continents they get very detailed. Typical. Is a white American supposed to pick European or American?
LOL!
‘American’ is what my husband and I write on the census.
“Canadian” is an ethnicity?
I would write in ‘chipmunk’.
OK, now that I think about it, back in the ‘70s PJ O’Rouke wrote a piece for the National Lampoon where he described the characteristics of various ethnicities, and IIRC Canadian was one of them.
Since I “identify as:”
Afghan
African American/Black
Alaska Native
American
American Indian
Arab
Armenian
Asian Indian
Assyrian/Chaldean/Syriac
Australian
Brazilian
Cambodian
Canadian
Caribbean/West Indian (except Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico)
Central American/Centroamericano
Chinese, except Taiwanese
Colombian
Cuban
Dominican (Dominican Republic/Republica Dominicana)
Eritrean
Ethiopian
European
Fijian
Filipino
Guatemalan
Hmong
Honduran
Indigenous Canadian
Indigenous Central American
Indigenous Mexican
Indigenous South American
Iranian
Japanese
Korean
Laotian
Mexican
Middle Eastern
Mongolian
Native Hawaiian
Nicaraguan
North African
Pakistani
Peruvian
Puerto Rican
Russian
Salvadoran
Samoan/American Samoan
South American/Suramericano
Spanish
Subsaharan African
Taiwanese
Tongan
Vietnamese
I claim all of the present and future benefits, especially reparations, come to ME first. I will then ‘redistribute’ to each according to their need
KRYTEN: I know. I had a mechanoid friend once who suffered from the same affliction. His name was Gilbert, but he preferred it if people called him “Rameses Niblick the Third, Kerplunk Kerplunk, Whoops, Where’s My Thribble.” A sad case.
Artificial intelligence is discriminated against in this list.
If AI starts using Alinsky tactics they can become the latest victim group!
I use “American,” also. If a form asks for “race” I put “human,” and I have a few times selected “other” on forms.
“Sephardic Jew” is not on the list, either.
I guess I’d check Spain and Middle Eastern.
Never mind my family has been in North America since the 1500s.
There is no pure race anyone. Humans are known to originate in Olduvai gorge in Africa. Then they wandered the earth in search of food. Their appearance adopted to climate where they spent many years. People away from sunny equator lost skin melanin since it was not necessary to protect from very little sun. People living in desert like terrain had to squint eyes a lot from reflective bright light from sand and developed smaller squinty eyes. People living near equator developed skin full of dark melanin to protect from ultraviolet. Nature wil adapt your appearance to adapt over just a few centuries. Any human can receive blood transfusion from any other human. Because of concurrent genes. But can not receive blood from any animal including chimps. The body will reject it as foreign.
That’s worse than the census!
