Filing a form

I was filing out a form for Sarah.. here is the question on the form

Race/Ethnicity..

Malaysian Forms
1. Malay
2. Chinese
3. Indian
4. Indigenous
5. Other


US Forms
1.Caucasian
2.Hispanic
3.African-American
4.Asian/Pacific
5.Other (fill in box)

Notice the "Other" in both forms...

If Sarah goes back to US.. the people may see her as a Chinese
While she is here in Malaysia, she is considered as Caucasian...
( One similarity on both situation both starts with "C" -- other than that it is " Other")
