You can actually be whatever you want to be, it's a good idea to be consistent though. In high School I was listed as "Black" even though my last name is "Whiteley". Now-a-days I usually list myself as Native American -I'm only a 16th or 32nd. Caucasian doesn't describe me as it also /doesn't/ describe most of us listed as Caucasian. People from Caucasia (Western Asia -Turkey, Georgia area) are somewhat tan and have dark hair and eyes. Though some of us may look it, few of us actually originate from Caucasia. Ango-Saxon really only describes Northern European descendants. Being that we're all kind of a mutt race you'd probably be justified in chosing whatever classification you want -your own private revolt against Affirmative Action.
