Who gets to decide what race I select on official documentation?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) July 7th, 2011

Is race legally defined somewhere? Is there a law that states that if your skin is a certain color, or your heritage is from a certain ancestoral group you are REQUIRED to answer that you were born into the appropriate race group?

Can I just say I’m black even if I’m not?
