What race are you according to your Singapore ID Card?

[Oh my]

I also use Human, when providing my race.  Never had it questioned.

Kubes. In your case this would be providing false information.A crime in this country.

[To: Oh my]

YOU WIN hands down..!!!!!

[olympian]

If you answer "Human" or "100 meters" to race, then do you answer "Yes Please", or "No Thank you" to the quetion about Sex?

I usually put "6 times a week". (I rest on the Sabbath)

Caucasia is indeed the geographic area between Russia and Turkey. Georgia, Amernia, and Chechnya are all caucasian countries.

All a bit old school but 100 years ago, humans were classified into four races; Caucasoid (white), Negroid (black), Mongoloid (Asian and Polynesian), and Australoid (Australian Aborigines)

The use in Singapore no doubt comes from this old classification.

Oh, and in the early days of British rule, the race classification was more granular, Chinese were classified as Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese etc, and Malays were classified as Malay, Bugis, Javanese etc

Yo, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka, Hainanese etc are not races lah.  They are all Chinese dialects.  The Chinese in Singapore are still classified along these lines and many Chinese Associations are run along these lines.

This is how the British likes it - divide and rule, playing one group against the other.

[Whoa]

It must be a PITA, traipsing around with that colossal chip on you shoulder, PP,

[Eh really?]

Not more pain than stating any facts, matter of factly of course

Its true these are dialect groups but in colonial days they were used as ethnic classifiers. In Chinatown you had different areas allocated to different dialect groups.

Big change after independence was that "Chinese" were then considered as one group with one mother tongue Manadarin. All part of nation building.

[Apache]

Probably a more useful classification would be :

1. Arrogant American
2. Racist Aussie
3. Pompous French
4. Tighta*** Swiss
5. Bumbling Brits
