Quick question: How are ~14% of all respondents from India, but 4.1% categorized as Middle Eastern in the Race and Ethnicity breakdown?

This is just one example of a strange anomaly in the data.

Middle East does not include India.

I guess most will identify as 'South Asian'.

Also you can see that the race/ethnicity question only has ~55k responses out of 100k respondents in general.

To many of us it feels like a very US-specific question that we are glad to skip. Racial identity is just not part of our lives. I might identify as as European, but certainly not as 'White or of European descent'

Yeah, it is a bit weird to use US specific notions of race outside of the US itself. How many Europeans in Europe feel that of "European descent" is an accurate description?

India is not in the Middle East.

Not really replying to the point you're trying to make but I don't think "middle eastern" is a race nor ethnicity...
