Oddly, the US census definitions of “white” and “Asian” do not include Caucasian (e.g. Chechen) and central Asian (e.g. Kazakh) people:

According to OMB, “White” refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.

According to OMB, “Asian” refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Is there an option for “other”, writing in “Russian, Chechen, Kazakh, and unknown”?
