I've always found it interesting (as a Muslim from the Middle East) that Middle Eastern is almost always lumped under White. I have some Turkish blood and so am on the lighter side, but much of my friends and family back home are definitely not "white".

I did have some friends from back home who moved to the US, and would tick "African / American" since we're technically from the African continent, though being from the North we wouldn't fit that in the traditional sense either.

I guess we'd all be mongrels. I sometimes wonder what it will mean for my sons' sense of identity as they grow up seeing themselves grouped under the White group.. While still feeling like a minority due to the way they look/speak.
