[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way to exclude them that you are looking for would be to exclude them if they check off “white.”[/quote] A very large portion of Latinos check off white, as there is no Mestizo category or any other relevant category among the federal race categories listed in the Common App. The American Indian or Alaska Native category does not typically apply, as that involves US federal tribe identification.[/quote] Well considering all the assumptions OP is already making, why not just assume someone who identifies as “white” doesn’t need affirmative action? The whole point is that we have no idea people’s backgrounds OR how schools ultimately make decisions. People also often don’t understand the race/ethnicity/heritage as it applies to Latinos (try explaining to my mom my Latino husband is “black!”). [/quote]
