[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]08:43 , PP is not an idiot. [b]One only has to have 25% of minority genes to be able to check that box on the college application. [/b] Every little added hook helps. [/quote] The box you check will have no bearing on your application unless your racial identity is reflected in your activities, essays, and teacher recs. It's not like admissions offices don't know about people who think like this PP. Race is a social construct. Thanks to slavery and rape, many African-Americans have that much "white" in their heritage. It never seemed to make a difference under Jim Crow, redlining, or deed covenants. [/quote]
