[quote=Anonymous]If you don’t designate, the register makes a guess based on child’s phenotype or your phenotype. MU (multiracial) is the worst categorization because it lumps the white-Asian kids with the white-AA ones despite the fact that the two minorities tend to face very different social circumstances in MCPS. Worse still, it treats Hispanic as a race and labels the handful of white Portuguese students as Hispanic. XH and I view DC’s race differently. As a result, DC is officially MU although DC has mostly lived and socialized in majority minority settings and now identifies as one race. [/quote]
