[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Always check black. There's literally nothing they can do. It's not a crime. You can IDENTIFY with whatever you want. An actual crime is if you were to try to scam financial aid.[/quote]

The only demographic identity box I see on the Common App is gender identity.  Furthermore, the colleges are making financial impacting decisions based on information in the Common App and the applicant is affirming that the information is provided is true.  If the information is false and found out it could result in the student being dismissed from the school and/or paying back funds possibly received as a result of the false information provided.  Of course, if not caught it is like anything else.[/quote]

Find a definition of African American that excludes anyone. The government defines it as having origins in Africa, but doesn't place a time frame on it. That's literally every human being on the planet. If they want a tighter definition, they can come up with one [/quote]

Not that hard.

Black or African American means a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Terms such as "Haitian" or "Negro" can be used in addition to "Black or African American".
