[quote=Anonymous]2nd generation Indian-American parent here. My kids are multiracial, so they could check at least 4 different boxes, depending on the options. I deliberately gave them non-Indian names specifically because of this kind of discrimination (our last name is ethnically vague and could be anything). I think they should check whatever box is most advantageous to them on college applications. If my high school classmate who passes for white but is a quarter black could check the AA box and get into every school she applied to (while white and Asian kids with better qualifications got rejected), why can't my kids play by the same rules and check the box that helps them the most?[/quote]
