"I didn't know what Indian people put down. When we registered her at the hospital, we said Asian, but I've put Caucasian down too (though she has a Mongoloid spot -- the birthmark that many AA people and Asian people have at the base of her spine)." ~Spaypets
If you want to get really scientific about it, it is my understanding that there are three races; Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid (Asiatic).
People of India, people of Hispanic descent, as well as people of the middle eastern countries all fall under the category "Caucasoid", in other words, caucasian; white.
American Indians fall under the category "Asiatic" or Mongoloid, as they are the descendants of Asians who came across the Bering Strait to America thousands of years ago.
Why race is even relevant in this day and age is another question entirely
... don't get me started...
