they should just remove Middle East and add West Asian.

I say this as an American married to an azerbaijani lol but it kind of depends on what the purpose of this is. Technically azerbaijanis fall under the caucasian (white) category for census purposes so if the outcome of whatever you select makes no difference for you (i.e. it’s just for a survey or study) then I’d pick white. BUT I also work in education and for example if you are applying to university or some sort of scholarship, I’d pick middle eastern, because then you’d be categorized more as a minority and you could stand to benefit from a level of affirmative action, depending on the context and the institution. Don’t shoot the messenger btw I am not trying to offend anyone or make a statement on whether I think these policies are good or bad, ultimately these questions are up to self-identification and I don’t think it really matters at the end of the day, but if you could stand to benefit from identifying as middle eastern I’d say go for it.
