[quote=Anonymous]I discovered that my DS identified as Hispanic when he signed up with College Board, because he just got invited to a Hispanic Recognition Program based on his PSAT scores. The definition is that you must be 1/4 Hispanic. Specifically the website says, "You must have ancestors from at least one of these countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, Uruguay, or Venezuela." Well it is true, that my mom was born and raised in one of these countries until coming here at age 20. However, I never spoke to him about this and I have always identified myself and my kids as "white." I don't know, but now I am wondering if he can use this to his advantage. Obviously, he must realize there is some advantage because he has done this on his own.[/quote]
