<p>My father was born in Greece which makes me 50% Greek.
My mother was born in New Jersey which makes me 50% American, obviously</p>
<p>Do I check "other" and write "Greek American"? Or what??</p>
<p>Let me know. Thanks.</p>
<p>Nationality and ethnicity are two different things and should be considered separately. For example, I know many people who are born in the US with both parents from separate countries. While it's clear that American is their nationality, their ethnicity is another thing.</p>
<p>You need to inquire into upper generations to be sure. There isn't a clear American ethnicity. Ask your parents about where their ancestors came from and you can put that down.</p>
<p>However, if it's just asking for race, just put down "White/Caucasian" or whatever would be most accurate for your case.</p>
<p>Presumably you were born in the US? You call your mom 100% American because she was born here. Unless she is a native American, she also has some foreign culture somewhere in her family tree. Why wouldnt you consider yourself 100 American? </p>
<p>As for ethnicity, you really havent told us, but I am guessing you are white.</p>
