Here's a question:
What if one doesn't *know*?
For instance in my case, specific genetic ancestory is
unknown, I can *assume* from looking at my skin, that I am white, but
since I could be 1/128th a LOT of things, how am I supposed to mark
it?
And, since I don't have access to my pre-adoption records,
how am I supposed to answer?
Is there an unknown category?
