I was puzzled to discover that, when you apply for a position in an American organisation, you are asked to identify your race. Here is the list, picked up from a recruitment page of an organisation:

• None selected
  
• White (Not Hispanic or Latino)
  
• Hispanic or Latino
  
• Black or African-American (Not Hispanic or Latino)
  
• American Indian or Alaska Native (Not Hispanic or Latino)
  
• Asian (Not Hispanic or Latino)
  
• Two or More Races (Not Hispanic or Latino)
  
• Native Hawaian or Other Pacific Islanders (Not Hispanic or Latino)
  
• Choose not to disclose
