[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our families  are Italian by way of Argentina, circa 1940.  Then US circa 1980. We always check the Hispanic box.  It has as served us very will thus far. [/quote]

Argentinians are the worst

Total cheats, frauds and charlatans

The PP’s family lived in Argentina for 2 generations. They were born there, spoke the language, the food and culture became mixed with their Italian heritage. How are they not Hispanic? I mean, if you are going to consider race and ethnicity, surely this counts. [/quote]

My friend's family has lived in the UK for 2 generations. They were born there, speak the language, and the food and culture became so mixed with their Sikh heritage that they changed religions, dislike curry, and go to Ascot every year. How are they not British? I mean, if are going to consider this definition to define race and ethnicity, surely this counts.

My friends' kids, who went to British IB school in the Middle East, who have their own ponies, and always fly first class, will also, due to their American mother, have a better shot at getting into HYP than your kids, by virtue of how they look.

I have another friend whose family has been in the US for ten generations. Much like my fault. This is their language, their history, and their culture. But their high school doesn't have the resources to get them into a good college, their family doesn't have the background to know how to navigate admissions, and they will probably end up taking out loans to go to some predatory for-profit school that will teach them nothing.
