Zyphoids. I like that and shall use it in the future.
And LMD, I do mean American citizen, of course not just visiting. Dual citizenship will get you a hyphenated name. With all the different races coming from different places, it does get difficult to distinguish who is from where and therefore is difficult to place PC tags on them. Like you said, white from South Africa... or what about Dominicans? They are Hispanic but most of them are black as night. And what about Russians? They are usually white-ish but they are technically Asian.
Actually I am part Russian and put on my college applications that I was part Asian to get the minority edge.
