<p>I do know the difference I was just stating that is why the US government considers all people from India Asian (Unless of course you aren’t Indian are you just live in India or was born in India). A lot of people are lumped into Asian that you wouldn’t say look Asian but are defined Asian by the government. Middle Easterners aren’t white but get lumped into White/Caucasian. </p>
<p>It really will only hurt you at top schools and if you want to be an engineer. A lot of Asians go into the math/science fields.</p>
