<p>Yes, I can’t wrap my head around this:</p>

<p>1) Egypt is in Africa
2) Egyptian people are ‘white’
3) Someone who lives in America with Egyptian ancestors is not African American because they are not black
4) All African Americans are black people and all black people are African Americans, except cubans and other dark skinned people, oh well.
5) North African Americans are white but not African American.
6) If you put African American on a paper expect to benefit from some type of affimative action, because college admissions people etc. are too stupid to realize that all African Americans are not black, even though there is a spot on a form where you can put your country of origin.</p>

<p>you’re an idiot.</p>

43

<p>What a delightful counterargument.</p>

44

<p>you’re refusing to understand my argument in the first place and interpreting it as you like. no point in repeating what i’ve already made quite clear.</p>

45

<p>I told you I understood your argument and dropped it. You continue to snark at my perceived idiocy.</p>

46

<p>right, you said you understood and then proceeded to make an argument that demonstrated your complete lack of understanding. so i’m dropping it. let’s leave at that, i’m not posting here again.</p>

You can check as many boxes as you like on the common app.</p>

<p>“proceeded to make an argument that demonstrated your complete lack of understanding”</p>

<p>“some people have an amazing ability to filter out and ignore information that doesn’t conform to their preexisting opinions.”</p>

<p>Because you continued to snark.</p>

49

<p>people who put white and african-american are not necessarily white people from africa…someone could have a black father and white mother (like Barack Obama) in which case he/she would put White and African American…</p>

<p>P.S. This is a chance me thread, so chance me or get the hell out, lol</p>

50

<p>i should have never mentioned my ethnicity, it created so much dispute…lol</p>

51

<p>And I say yes, you have a good chance. Are you applying ED?</p>

52

<p>no i won’t apply ed, are my chances good for rd?</p>

53

<p>I think you have a really good chance even RD, but make sure to work on your application - in the end, that will make you stand out amongst all the other really smart kids and get you accepted. I’m guessing this isn’t your first choice school, but make sure that they can’t tell that from your app.</p>
