I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up.
I couldn’t find an easy way to change it and I’d rather not talk to HR if it’s not a big deal. So, forget about it? Call HR?
Your location might be relevant, but I would say your employer doesn’t need to know that, unless you are claiming some benefit that requires proof of native status or something.
I’d say don’t bring it up if it doesn’t matter. Some companies have internal diversity targets so it could help your department if something like that exists in your company or is implemented in the future.
