Yes, you are right. I thought so myself when I was writing the poll, I didn't know what would be the best title to put for it.

Yes..but many people have so many European ancestors of differing ethnicity's they just use white as a short example of combinations (like mutts) as I might use...

I thought it meant your ethnic background which can include your race.

You're right.
Some of us, though, are just white. We have no idea where we came from.
