It's not on a government form. It's the argument progressives make when they lobby to get rid of standardized tests in both college admissions and public honors high schools like the ones in NYC and Virginia. The DEI activists go after these schools for not being diverse enough, which they interpret as not enough Blacks and Hispanics. Most of the schools that have been targeted are majority Asian (honors high schools), and when you point that out (it's not white kids) the activists say the Asian kids are white adjacent and they are taking up places that should go to Blacks and Hispanics.
Google the controversy over the NYC schools and Thomas Jefferson high school in Virginia. The DOE did the exact same thing in my school district in the 90's. The metric for measuring racial balance in our gifted programs was Black vs Non-Black. The Asian parents in our program were appalled to find out they were "white" and that there were too many of them in the gifted programs. This has been a thing for a long time in education. It's just that now it's called DEI and the term is "white adjacent".
