My Yahoo Avatar looks very similar to the way I do in real life -- I have thin lips, a broad nose, and spiked hair and am not obese, anorexic, super-muscular, dwarfed, or a giant. However, because they only have 4 hair colors, I chose black because my hair is so dark brown that it's almost black -- especially with all that gel. The reason for my dark coloration and white-sounding name is because my father is Irish (his mother was Italian) while my mother is mostly Hispanic. However, despite this great mixture, they have always defined me as "white, non-hispanic" on every ID card they've ever written for me -- it's on my birth certificate like that despite my ability to get really dark in the sun. So what race am I really in if I have dark brown hair and eyes with a skin that tans pretty easily? What SHOULD they have put on my registration forms in K-12?
