[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of my daughter's is claiming to be Hispanic on his application, which technically he can get away with because he is half Cuban, but [b]he does not in any way at all look Hispanic[/b], nor is he culturally Hispanic. It's a MASSIVE stretch. [/quote] Half Cuban is Hispanic. It doesn’t matter what you look like! My DC’s friend has one black parent and one white parent. You can visibly tell friend’s siblings are half black. However, friend has golden blond, straight hair and objectively looks white. He is still black- has a black parent and two black grandparents. [b]You do not get to decide what someone’s race is based on their looks.[/b] [/quote] Ok, but this kid does not consider himself to be Hispanic in any other context outside of applying to college. [/quote]
