I have a hispanic last name, and my father's side immigrated (more than 100 years ago) from Mexico, so depending on what the form is for, I will often check the hispanic box. I'm as white as white can be, but what is the standard? Do you have to be a full blooded... whatever? Your parents? Just one grandparent? Is it supposed to be that you just choose the major portion of your lineage? Is it only supposed to be your appearance? What box should Tiger Woods check?
There are no standards so I just assume it's the major portion of your ancestry no matter how distant. I don't have a clue about any of my other predecesors. Besides, if there is some advantage that this kind of ridiculously narrow and impossible to answer properly question provides, count me in.
