The lab did a tournament bracket of the scariest things in Nature. I am not sure what was crowned as the champion, but notable entries were Australia, brain eating amoebas, and black holes.

This. I have Mexican and French parents. So I am white because of my European descent? I am Latino because of my indigenous ancestry? I have always marked "other" when possible in those race survey questions.
Many Latinos have an identity crisis when they’re asked to comment on their race. Like most countries outside the U.S., Latinos tend to identify with their nationality, and when asked to comment on their race they either say Latino (even though that’s not a racial category), 1/13
