My Great Grand mother is from Germany (White).
My Great Grand father is (Native American Indian) and a Great Chieftain.
Their Daughter (my Grand mother), married an African American.
This Makes my Mother = (White & Native American Indian, & African American).
But it doesn't stop there! My Father is from Asia.

That makes me :
( White, Native American Indian, African American and Asian).
I have heard all the Jokes about being a mongrel, So please leave out the jokes!! Most application tell you to pick one race for their applications.
I never like to just picking just one race, ( If I pick Asian, then I'm omitting my mothers unique side of her heritage). If nothing else, I am culturely rounded!

Diverse heritage doesn't seem to fit into the government's computer systems very neatly.

But I think I would choose which ethnicity I identify with most and not look at it as excluding anyone or any part of your heritage.

Actually it's against the law to ask that question. Race is not supposed to be on any application for employment.

wow i actually find your combination very beautiful and unique
but you shouldnt have to pick. id leave it black, or tick off each one. and if they have a problem with you not wanting to pick your race then it should tell you about how up to date they are with the world and the people in it

You could list yourself as Multicultural or decline to state a specific race.
