A census taker once tried to test me

I received my 2020 census form today. I figured I might as well fill it out. One of the questions is select your race AND enter your origins.
Quote:
Enter, for example, German, Irish, English, Italian, Lebanese, Egyptian, etc.
Now I've done quite a bit of genealogy work, so I wonder just how detailed of an answer they want. Should I list that my wife's 6th great grandmother was Native American? Can I say Native American, since that was before 1776? Should I say she's a daughter of Texas, since one of her ancestors was in the Texas militia under Sam Houston?

Or should I just put 100% American, and leave it at that?
