How would you identify yourself?

As I am writing my drafts and sending them for feedback,  the idea of 'How would I actually identify myself? Would I identify myself as coloured?' was brought to my attention.

The use of 'coloured' in the context of 'coloured dancer' and 'people of colour' was coined by people of White descent. But is there any context where non-Whites see themselves as 'coloured'? Do I as an Asian, as a Chinese identify myself as 'coloured'? These are some questions I have been asking myself and reflecting on after my tutorial.

It was suggested to use the world 'non-Caucasian', and so I looked further into the word which I found many articles discouraging the use of this word. It seems like using the word 'Caucasian' to refer to 'Whites' is similar to the idea of associating 'Blacks' to 'African-Americans'.

The word 'Black' should not be used to refer to African-Americans because not all people of a dark skin tone is of African descent or have immigrated to the States. There are also Blacks in other parts of the world South America, Canada, the Caribbeans and Britain.

Like the use of 'Black', not every White person associate themselves with being Caucasian, and not every Asian are Chinese, Japanese or Korean. So how should I then group and name people who do not identify themselves as White? Would non-White be suitable? Or, should I say of European descent because Whites around the world are descendants of European migrants even if they don't exactly relate to Europe...

Having my inquiry topic about race, I have found it tricky to identify each race and how people identify themselves. In today's context, an example would be that one might possess the biological features of a Korean, but since they grew up in America, they are thus they relate more to America than Korea. Or, for children with parents of different races, for example, a White and a Black, one of the children might have a lighter skin tone while another has a darker skin tone. In this case, do they each then identify themselves differently in terms of race?

Race is a tricky and broad topic that I will really need to look into and find the most suited racial and ethnic terms.
