Following that logic, in another 50 years all the Israelis will be Palestinians. Problem solved!

Although I'm a whitey (mostly norwegian) I always claim other or none on ethnicity surveys out of spite for a system that recognizes such things. If I have to put something down my answer is always 'human'.

how can someone be 4% of something? it always baffles me why people choose such an arbitrary number and consider it written in stone.

I've always wondered this as well, it would seem to me that you can only be a fraction with a denominator that is a power of two, examples 1/2, 3/4, 5/64.

According to all official documents I'm just plain Caucasian, but I'm half-Greek and half-extremely-mixed (including a bit o' Mexican).

Teh Arabness!!! :D Though most likely I don't have that much Arab in me...Probably Persian, Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian all in that mix mash of Arab...

But I still identify as that ;) Arab itself isn't really a race....its more like a huge heterogeneous group

Mostly African, but

1/8 Creek
1/32 Spanish
1/16 Irish

That's what I know of. There's also some French in there somewhere, but not sure how much.
