Race questions aree absurd, since race is not a useful concept in the first place, and the so-called races available are not even races. "Hispanic" is not a race.
I've seen attempt to put Homo sapiens into a clade with sub-species as races---basically what used to be caucusoid, negroid, mongoloid, but where the mongoloid splits into a 2 with one being native americans, and adds oceania (New Guinea and Australian Aborigines) as another.
Regardless, it's effectively meaningless, and given add-mixtures in the US utterly pointless except to facilitate institutional racism (sometimes called "reverse" racism, it is none the less simple racism).
IMO, the biggest problem is counting non-citizens. Your citizenship status is a question that should be there, but is not. If you're not a citizen (or legal resident) you frankly should not count.
