Oh yeah that’s a common question about ethnicity usually an optional question filled out in case there’s some legal process in the future trying to determine if there’s underlying discrimination from poor treatment/service to a specific group when a legal complaint has been lodged.
I’m talking about the weird obsession some Americans have with determining what % of their genes originated from other countries.
The closest it’s gotten for me is usually a conversation about family history which most of the time is usually “A country on my father’s side and B country on my mother’s side”. But they’ve never broken it down into percentages before like it’s some sort of eugenic recipe.

Half is fair enough as that implies some cultural mixing, but fractions lower than that are just “look at me” bullshit.
