[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is beyond dumb.[/quote] It is not dumb, it is actually very smart. You take Hispanic last name, claim yourself as Hispanic next whatever application you submit. [/quote] Funny story - my white as a ghost friend married a Hispanic man and took his name. She had a job interview and the interviewer was disappointed upon her arrival bc he thought she’d speak Spanish! She never claimed to be anything other than what she is on her application but they assumed. [/quote] I married into an Asian American family and took my husband's name because we wanted to have one family name. My SIL, whose first name is very Irish (like Maura or Bridget) married an Irish American man and changed her name too. When go out together, people get so confused. We've been given each other's credit cards at restaurants on more than one occasion. I also disappointed a woman from my husband's culture when I started at my current job. She worked there amd was hoping for someone she could speak her native language with. Her face fell when she saw me - she liked to tease me about that later. :) These days, though, intercultural marriages are not exactly rare, and I feel like people are much less surprised to see that someone with my last name is white - certainly less so than when we got married 25 years ago.[/quote]
