Another racial question :O

<p>I am half-white, half-Chinese, with an obviously Chinese last name (it's funny to me when people ask if my dad or my mom is the Asian one). </p>

<p>I assume it would be less harmful to me to put white on applications (I identify much more with whites anyway; my friends are white, I only speak English, etc.), but will colleges be suspicious of my name? Will they treat me as they would an Asian? Would that hurt me?</p>

<p>Woody Allen once named a japanese actor's character- Phil Moscowitz in one of movies. The key for you is how is the question worded. Who you identify yourself with? Mixed heritage? Other? All apps are different.</p>
