Every other ethnicity has it's own designation but there is only African American for anybody who is of African descent or African. I am not African myself, but have always wondered why there isn't an option. Maybe Collarme could add that option.

Not having a rant or anything, just curious.

If there are any back end developers who would like to do some volunteer work, please CMail me.

Status: offline 		This is a topic that comes up a lot.  When looking over the code for choices I see beginning at line 552:

<select name="f13" class="WhiteFields">
<option value="3233" selected>Any</option>
<option value="4243" >Caucasian</option>
<option value="5253" >Asian</option>
<option value="6263" >Hispanic</option>
<option value="7273" >Indian</option>
<option value="8283" >Middle Eastern</option>
<option value="9293" >Native American</option>
<option value="102103" >African American</option>
<option value="112113" >Mixed</option>
<option value="122123" >Other</option>
</select>

It does look like it needs some change.  The category of COUNTRY (not shown above) pegs people down by location which would could be separated by race.  There are only 3 actual races by definition listed below. 
 
Caucasion:
Skull: Dolicephalic(Long-Head),High forehead,Little supraobital development.
Face: Mainly Leptoproscopic( Narrow)Sometimes Meso- or even Euryproscopic, Neither Facial nor alveolar prognathism occurs except among some archaic peoples.
Nose:Long,narrow,high in both root and bridge.
Mongoloid:
Skull: High incidence of Brachycephaly(Short Round Head)
American Indians while Mongoloid are often Dolicephalic.
Foreheads slightly lower than that of the Caucasoid.
No Supraobital development.
Face: Wide and short, projecting cheek bones, Prognathism rare. Shovel shaped incisors common especialy in Asia.
Nose: Mesorine(Low and Broad in both root and bridge.
Negroid:
Skull: usually Dolicephalic, a small minority are Brachycephalic.
Forehead most often high, little supraobital development.
Face: Leproscopic (to a much lesser degree than the Caucasion), Prognathism common in most Negro populations.
Nose: Low & broad in root and bridge with characteristic depression at root.
 
This would make me from the country of the USA and categorized as a Mongoloid/Caucasian as I am part Native American (Mongoloid)  + Spanish (Caucasian).  Here is where things get tricky, some Spaniards are not Caucasian.  LOL wow this can be complex.
