[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have wondered about a similar question, b/c I have two Chinese-American daughters, but my DH and I are Caucasian.   I have wondered, when we get to this point, if it would make a difference one way or another as to which "box" they check (say, on college applications) and, if so, which one would be "better."

Your daughters, I assume adopted since you are both White, are Asian.  They are not White simply because you raised them.  You cannot take away their ethnicity and race.  [/quote]

Many times I see the question written, "Mark the race you most identify with,"  or something to that extent.  That is why Obama is black even though he's 50% white. Technically because he is 50/50 he is mixed but he gets away with being black because that's how he identifies himself (and because he can claim racism from whites easier).

[b]I was born in the US and whenever there's the choice of Native American, I choose that even though technically I am white - I identify as Native American.[/b]  [/quote]

[i]"I don't know what you mean by 'glory,'?" Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!'?"

"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."[/i][/quote]
