So.......the box is tiny and I bet lots of white people have family from multiple countries. Tons probably don’t even know their ancestral history.

And then, the article says the same question will be there for “black/African American”. How the frick are the ancestors of slaves going to know which country their unfortunate ancestors came from? I think if I was in that category I’d just write “slave” in the box.

It’s already bad enough when you are mixed.

What a....intersting change
