other?

in this great melting pot world, i am amazed that questionnaires still give a "check only ONE" option for ethnic background. i mean come on. other? i'm other? how stupendously vague.
 
these things give me an identity crisis.

I used to always check "other," just for fun. Granted, I was more easily amused then.

Yeah, I find that preposterous. People do not fit into neat little categories.

I like to think of it as "Other" like maybe you're not even of this WORLD. Oooooh.
