[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's claiming to be black or Hispanic, then there should be something in the transcript, like being involved with African-American students organization, or Hispanic students organization, etc. Otherwise, it just sounds like you're jockeying for an edge. If you're African-American, there are lots of essay contests, leadership groups particularly for teen guys. You could attend an African-American church. In short, there should be actual activity within the community which would back up your claim that you identify heavily with the group.[/quote] But the question is about race or ethnicity, not identification. If you have ancestry of a given race or ethnicity, you should be able to claim that for purposes of URM status. With native Americans, you can certainly claim if it you are enrolled with a tribe, whether or not you have ever participated in tribal events. [/quote]
