I am an All American Mutt. Ok so I am not a dog. But the thing is I am of such mixed races. In the end I look white. I am mostly. Two kinds of American Indian show up in my kids in little ways with the exception of Joe. He looks the part. In most ways. Came out looking like an indian child. Native American if you want to go the politically correct route. The thing is when I fill out my forms for whatever and it asks what race I am there is no box for me. I get stuck in a box called caucasion. Which means I am grouped together in the same race group as people who I do not share a race with. Not that I really care. I don't.

We need to have a different system. The new system should have new boxes. The boxes should be labled in the following way....
