    English/French/Dutch/Apache. Honky republican for short.

    But I self-identify as Asian, so I'd appreciate it if you would refer to me as Oriental.

    But the question is about "ethnicity" not "race"

    Right. Sorry, I was replying to TOB's question:

    Race is biologically defined. Ethnicity, like gender, is a social construct.

    So you would treat ethnicity just like you do gender?

    Seems like we're not answering the question correctly, if that's the case.

    That is true, we aren't answering it correctly. Much like gender, the technical definition of ethnicity doesn't align with how we use the word casually.
