"BTW: wonder what the US authorities would say of a
Ukraino-Khazaro-Polono-Saxo-Vasco-Norvago-Gotho-Scandinavian (me)?"

'Caucasian.' Kind of robs you of your family history, too, eh? I mean, my
father is from a Dublin (Scots) Irish family and my mother's father is said
mixture of Cherokee and unnamed African stocks, and my mother's mother, who
is allegedly 'German,' is in fact of Pecheneg (Turkic) and German & Slav
origins. So she is simply 'Caucasian!'
