Visual survey of race at work?

[Pb]

I work with a lot of people from the Middle East and India. They run the entire spectrum of Caucasian from blonde hair/blue eyes, to having darker features than most ‘Africa-Americans.’
Hispanics same thing.

Yup.  Race is actually defined by skull type, not skin color.  Arabs and Indians (dot) are Cacuasians (though Indians do have some admixture of another race).

Yep, so the lefticles in government are interested in dividing people by bone shapes, facial features, hair types, and geneology... I think I've seen this movie before.

Where do American Indians fit in the Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid categories?  (not that it matters, but I'm curious)

They fall under the mongoloid classification because the accepted theory is that all North American Indians descended from Asians that crossed the land bridge into North America a few years ago. It is especially apparent if you take a look at the tribes of the Northern Plains.

Pick a day?  Some pictures I see of her she looks more "tan" and I would say mixed race.  Other pictures, she looks pretty light skinned.  I have seen typical white women who are not far off in looks.  Personally, I don't care.

I don't care, either. But your response to my question amply demonstrates the fallacy of trying to classify race based on exterior appearance.

And, why would a white person born and raised in South Africa and now a nationalized US citizen not be African-American?

When I was working registration in college, I actually signed up one such person, originally from Pretoria, RSA.

Of course, I honestly identified myself on various forms as a Native American, having been born in Chicago.

Some people really don''t have a sense of humor when asked to point out on a map just where is Africa-America

Is that before or after breaking into a rousing rendition of the African-American National Anthem?

And if you saw Megan Markle sitting in your waiting room, what race would you assign her to (or to her)?

Human.
