[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand all these people who seem to not know what race or ethnicity box to check when their children are applying to college. What have you been selecting for the previous 17-18 years? That's what you should select. Anything else is lying/cheating/gaming the system. [/quote]
What we have chose for him and what he will choose for college or even high school may be different boxes. We may choose white for him, but he might choose Latino later in life. I don't know what he is going to do. DC speaks Spanish, his father was born in South America and grew up there. The last name however is is from China, think "Lee", because great grandfather moved to SA from China. I'm from Northern Europe and DC also speaks my mother tongue. Strangely, my child's last name is very common in my country. I did no change my last name.
I have no idea what to mark. We will probably put "other" and let the kid decide when he is old enough.[/quote]

White, Latino and Asian.[/quote]
