Any Filipinos on the forum?

I think someones ethnicity/race is based off your bloodline and how your raised. I consider myself a Filipino Italian American but when i have to declare my race on forms, job apps, etc there is no option for that lol so you have to check multiple ones and almost always there is not a option for American, so i am left with Asian and European when i haven't even stepped on those continents. So i think knowing the languages and customs etc is not a necessity, at least to the government, when someone is saying their "Filipino" or whatever because you are more so talking about where your family traces back from.
