[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated a  few years ago. My name is actually Italian but a lot of people think it is Hispanic.  I checked Hispanic on the application.  No one ever "investigated" me.   [/quote]

So you lied to get a perceived advantage because you weren't confident of your own record and ability to make a strong case for your fit to major?

So how were your JHU grades?

I hope you're not my doctor or personal wealth advisor or not even real at all (under-bridge-dweller).[/quote]

How do you think Obama got into Columbia as a transfer student ? Occidental had a guaranteed transfer policy for "certain" students.  He had average grades while at Occidental.  He would never had have been accepted to Columbia as a white student, despite being born to a white mom and raised by white grandparents.

We all play our cards. [/quote]

As Obama said in one of his books, he identifies as black because that’s how he experiences the world (when cabs didn’t stop for him, when he was followed around at stores, etc.). Biracial kids who “look black” aren’t spared racial discrimination because they have a white parent and grandparents. A white Italian checking off Hispanic is just being dishonest. [/quote]
