It's from the President of a University, as an informal survey.
No, you can pick all that apply. You missed something else.
Yasmine, by North American Indian, they mean North American Aboriginal, because it's a Canadian university.

Ehh. I'm not sure there's anything "wrong" with it, but it could be improved.

However, some people would object to certain things on it. First off, "White" and "Black" aren't really races. They're common terms that are mistaken as the term for a race -- but the correct terms are Caucasian and African American.

Also, I find it interesting that, while the majority of the list seens to have been placed in random order, "White" STILL comes first -- it always seems to, even though they never really appear to care about the order of the others.
