[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid isn’t Hispanic enough to have realized it before now, he’s not Hispanic.

And if your school registration paperwork says he’s white, and you try to change it now- huge red flag. [/quote]

OP here.  I don't believe I ever filled out any paperwork that asked if he was Hispanic.  Of course I would have checked if he was white, because he is.  The thing is, you can be Hispanic AND white.  So there's that.  And even if we didn't check that box in the past, there is no reason why we cannot now.  It is true he is Hispanic by definition.  So I don't see how there is a red flag.  I can easily prove it by presenting my brith certificate, which shows my mother's birth place.  I also have my mother's passport from her country of origin which shows the date that she came to the US.  Not worried about red flags here.

The thing is, the more I think about it, the more I want to check that box.  That's because there are so many other people like me doing the same thing, and legitimately.  The system is obviously broken, and as a PP said, until they fix it, I will be checking the Hispanic box.[/quote]

It is meant for oppressed Hispanic, not the oppressors of the oppressed Hispanic. I see this time and time again and it is disgusting.[/quote]
