Race distinction is just BS, anyway, unless it is part of your personal identity. So just ask her, maybe she cares. My wife would not be happy if I put her down as anything other than "Indonesian", but I only know that because she told me. Her telling me that is also the only reason I would ever care how she was racially identified. It's her business and I've got nothing to say unless it is from her.

Alternatively if she is from Sulut and not Minahasan she maybe either be Sanger or Gorontalo but I doubt it. Not many "outsiders" in Tondano.

Asian will do,i think.
Like....it is for PR app, must be referring to a bigger group of race than just local Indonesian race group such as Javanese/Sundanese/etc.....
I bet it would of refer to Asian/Caucasian/...
