Just a quick question

edited August 2012 in General Banter
I'm filling out job forms and whatnot and I am entirely confused at to what my "race" is that I have to check. I'm Sicilian, so does that mean I'm white? all of my fellow countrymen are like me, of very dark complexion with brown or black hair, and brown eyes. I've tried to look it up online but with no concrete results. Should I just mark the "other" box on these forms?

    Mark what you feel comfortable with. If it's other than do it with no upset. I don't think there is a 'rule' here just go with what you feel

    Isn't that question optional?

    But I'm guessing Sicily is part of Italy and since Italy is part of Europe, I guess you'd be white?

    I'm Italian too... but Sicilians are a race apart. Have they got 'alien'....!? Scherzo!!!

    you're caucasian/white.
    doubtless, in Sicily there is a heavy north African genetic influence - but yes, you're still Italian.
    and white.

    I assume it is white unless there is one that is dark European. Where I live there is the hispanic/non hispanic question mostly. ALso one race only is too limited for most ofthe staff and students Iwork with.
