I think it would be much be better if the following so called ethnicities Baltic, Russian, Italian, German, French would be reported as White. In fact, people originally from those areas areas of the world are white. To group together the real Ethnicity such as Afro-American, white, Latina, and Russian, Baltic, Italian, German, French make no sense is like apples and oranges.

Perhaps, but then she is French so what do you expect. Just kidding, sort of. I love Paris (and not just in the Springtime) and have always found the French to be wonderfully friendly. No EARTHLY idea, based on my own experiences, how they got the reputation they seem to have acquired.
Nevertheless, for search purposes, I completely agree with the suggestion.
I think it's fine the way it is. When you hear Russians and Baltics that gives you a sense of what you're getting including their inability to speak English. Lumping them altogether as white wouldn't help us picture what they're like.
There should be a multi-ethnic option, however. If someone's half Spanish and half white, which do you choose?...
By the same token, Japanese, Philipino, Hawaiian, Thai, and Chinese women are very different, but they are all grouped as Asian, yes? That's disapointing to me, because I have a preference for Pacific Island girls, and when I see "Asian", I have to sort through all the Korean girls. I can't remember the review form off-hand, but do you distinguish between blacks who are African-American, from Haiti, or from the Ivory Coast? I don't remember it being that way.
So I also don't understand gouping Caucasians from different countries.
Just my opinion.
