Black (for example, African, African Canadian, Afro-Caribbean descent), South Asian (for example, East Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan), Filipino, Arab, Chinese, Latin American (for example, Hispanic or Latin American descent), Southeast Asian (for example, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, Thai), Korean, West Asian (for example, Iranian, Afghan, Turkish), Japanese or White/Caucasian.
