Common app hasn’t changed yet ?

People from Spain are European. This just highlights the absurdity of the system.

I’m sure thr Spaniards refer to themselves as Europeans and not Hispanics, but whatevs

I understand what you mean, OP, but then consider that all my friends from Central or South America are wealthy white Caucasian landowners from the upper echelons of their society. Do you think they're part of the oppressors or the oppressed? You bet they check the Hispanic box, and without lying at all.
If you're from Spain, it's just as ethically dubious as what they're doing.

It's like everyone and their ChatGPT mother editing their kids' college essay drafts. Is it wrong if it's allowed, and a plurality (or majority) of people are doing the same thing?

I have no answer to this question, but I just want to tell you: the system is wrong. Whatever you choose to do, I don't think you carry any moral blame.

NP. What exactly has she asked for the common app?

I’m skeptical you aren’t a troll, but we were in this situation in the last few years and if you can relay the exact precise question(s) your daughter is apparently confused about from the common app, I will give more precise recommendations.

Common App, Demographics section:

Are you Hispanic or Latino/a/x?

Yes

No
Clear answer

Regardless of your answer to the prior question, please indicate how you identify yourself. (You may select one or more)

American Indian or Alaska Native

Asian

Black or African American

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

White

Yes, its fine.

Hispanic refers to someone whose ancestry is Spanish speaking.

Spanish is a language or citizenship

Latino is an ethnicity that refers to a person whose origins are in Latin America.

You're the fist one - Hispanic.

Of course.

It is telling the truth.

So it’s not on common app? Where would the question appear?

I thought Scotus ended this tomfoolery?

It's fine.

His·pan·ic
adjective
relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, especially those of Latin America.

I’ve read it’s appropriate and allowed, but I am not sure if it should be.
