- dennisgorelik 15y agoThanks. So Bill Nguyen proved that it's possible to self-identify yourself under different race. University Admission Committee may not mind such "self race re-branding" practice too, because university ratios of admitted minorities would be improving as well.
- nivertech 15y agoThe article talking about high school, not college. Anyway I find, that Americans a little bit confused about things like race, ethnicity and nationality. Asking to fill nationality in official documents is legitimate. Asking for ethnicity is borderline. Asking to fill a race is barbaric.
- dennisgorelik 15y agoI guess universities are barbaric then.
- Duff 15y agoHave you ever dealt with an academic bureaucracy? Barbarism is a good description!
