    I don't have much of a choice, though. These are the options:

    American Indian or Alaska Native
    Asian
    Black or African American
    Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
    White


    American racial classification is so dumb

    Isn't being Bengali a nationality and not an ethnicity? Being Pakistani isn't an ethnicity either....

    Bengali is an ethnicity. Bangladeshi is nationality.

    Bengalis share a common language, culture, history, and race to a certain extent.. with religion being the dividing factor.

    They also share a common love for open sewers and human-driven transportation systems.

    aphrodite the word ethnicity is useless.

    and i dont know why people get all pissy at the way america defines things. it doesn't really care about where you are from it just wants to know how many people are black, asian, and native american because there are money issues dealing with those races. the rest of us dont really matter. and just because a form says you are one thing doesnt mean you are actually that.

    we are "white" in that we wont really get benefits as a minority since our appearance wouldn't  have us be discriminated against. ( at least some of us...i could pass as white i suppose some of the southern arabs get darker...)
    I wish parents everywhere could remove their veil of religion and see their kids for whom they actually are.

    My ethincity changes depending on who you ask. I say I'm Kashmiri-Afghan (THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING PAKI AND BEING KASHMIRI YOU FUCKING PAKIS Peek a boo ). My brother says I'm Kashmiri. My mum says "Fuck that, you're British." My dad says I'm Paki. My grandfather says I'm Pakistani Kashmiri. My other grandfather says I'm Afghan. My aunts whisper that I must be secretly Bosnian or Romanian.

    Needless to say, I chose 'Mixed or Other'.

    What part of Kashmir? If you don't mind me asking  Tongue I have mixed ethnicities on my desi side too. My paternal grandmother was Kashmiri and my paternal grandfather was half Pashtun, half punjabi  wacko

    I've never asked. Kashmiriness, as well as Afghanness, is a dirty secret in my family for some reason. They're weird.

    Interesting, I think most desi's try to keep the different ethnicity stuff quiet because they're so xenophobic that even marrying muslims of other ethnicities is taboo. I didn't know about my grandfather's pashtun side till recently and found out about the white side when I was 16--by accident too.  parrot

    I've noticed there are 0 persians on the polls. Which is interesting. I would say Persians would be the largest "ex-muslim" immgrant group in the west. Majority of persians I've known are dismissive of Islam.. and also the fact that Maryam Namazie is a Persian along with a lot of the declaring themselves ex-muslims on the main CEMB organization page. I guess they don't really visit a forum like this or feel the need to since so many are ex-muslim that they don't have the social pressure to escape from maybe?

    I'm talking about the Iranian diaspora in the west, not Iranians in Iran.
