    Exactly. Being a bush baby appears to be a highly sought after option.

    Same thing with Asian and Turk...

    If you're going to try to get all selective, you can't include a group and it's subgroup... all euro whites are indo-european, and all turks are asians(and most asians are turks...) And all latin americans are native americans/vice versa.

    And all indians are indo-european too...

    Ok I could go on forever about what's wrong with the poll choices..lol
    Has it never surprised you how most polls are always criticized? Maybe that will clue you in to what i had already mentioned before, that a poll would never accurately reflect this. Furthermore, even though Indo-European and white European may be very close, they are too culturally distinct and they will tell you so. Again, perhaps you just had an itch to bitch, considering i already said this poll would never be accurate and the sub divisions themselves would play on whether i knew of the sub divisions themselves, not to mention space.

    Should have just made the choices White and Other. Let's be real here.

    I honestly thought there would be more asians, since like half of the people I knew in FFXI were filipino or some shit

    They're not "very close"...they're the same. Indo-European is an arch-category that includes 90% of Europe, Iran, and India. An Indian is also an Asian, an Indian living in India is also an Aboriginal...

    It isn't an "itch to bitch" it's that you chose your choices really poorly. As I said, you included Arch-Categories with sub-categories with sub-categories of sub-categories.

    My ethnicity proper is "Asian-Indo-European-White-European-Northern Germanic"

    The question you seem to want to ask is "Which ethnicity do you IDENTIFY with?" to which poll options should be restricted to single tier of categories.

    It's like having a poll:

    What Race are you?:

    1. Human
    2. Black

    Pick one.

    - tacos and burritos and maybe chimichangas
    - casseroles and hotdishes
    i'd still be in the same boat.

    If your goal is to get useless information(which on BG, is entirely plausible) then yes, you win.

    I suppose I should respond with something equally derogatory? "ok faggot" or something?
