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?
