I'm not North-American, and I'm pretty sure that "Native American" is just used in the United States…

I am so extremely satisfied after reading this blog post as well as I concur with your final part of this post. However, I’ve truly read this somewhere else as well. Do you have any additional website too?

Thai people mark "Asian, White" to indicate they have light skin colour.

East Indian is not a uniform race, there are East indian blacks, East Indian Chinese and East Indian polyglots, and then the imported East Indian Aryans

Yeah, but a European will not necessarily classify them as a Native American. The Native American may self-identify as a Native American, but someone in Britain might not. The article seemed to be trying to make a point that identification of ethnicity can vary depending where you are.Maybe Native American isn’t the best example. The differences in interpretation of “black”, “half-caste” and “coloured” is probably the best example. I imagine it gets quite complicated (but more pertinent) in a country like India where the caste system dominates the social stratification.

Think harder…A Native American travels to Europe, they’re still Native American while in Europe.Shocking, I know.

Haha, why would Native American exist outside of the United States of America? Descendents of tribes that were already in the country when others invaded obviously exist everywhere. But they’re called different things: aboriginees in Australia, for example.I think a free text entry option would let people self identify better, and the more common entries could be presented as quick-select choices. A bit like a tag cloud. Then the true way people identify themselves will become apparent.Or maybe people wanting to date based on skin colour should have to look at the pictures?
