When I have to fill out forms that require an ethnic or racial indication, either just write in "This was a favorite question of the Nazis" or, I check other, and write in Mesopotamian-American.

We couldn't get library cards unless we checked one of the boxes for ethnic/racial background. I put Mesopotamian-American, my son checked "other" and wrote in Mexican-American, and my wife wrote in "foreigner." They made her change hers, but she refused to check the "hispanic" box, and wrote in "Mexican" instead.

All this just to get a library card...
