Doing a little research and need help.

 Lately I came across some people with multiple backgrounds. On some applications they are to put down what they are, however if the application say you are black or white, but if you are a Latino or Native American then you can't put down neither black or white.

 

 So, I wonder, what are the applications says in YOUR land regarding ones background?

I work in an office that has applications for people to fill out. You can check black or white AND Hispanic or Native American.

 

Until recently, I had never thought that much about persons who were mixed Native American and black or Hispanic black people. Being raised in the truth, I always was a bit "color-blind"....
