<p>Well, if you have an Asian sounding name, it won't really matter if you mark unknown. Your choice though..... BTW, this thread will probably be merged with the "fastest growing ethnic group" thread.</p>
<p>If your name isn't Asian, I would go with "I prefer not to answer." Just my opinion.</p>
<p>Another suggestion: Don't send out that SAT score unless someone has to get it when they get your SAT II scores. Your ACT score is better and colleges will accept either the SAT or the ACT.</p>
<p>p.s. Stone_cutter, those native to Iran and Turkey are considered white. Those native to Egypt are considered white, too, for that matter - in case you think at an Egyptian who lives in America is African American because Egypt is in Africa. :) </p>
<p>The U.S. Census Bureau considers race to be one of these five categories:
- American Indian and Alaska Native
- Asian
- Black or African American
- Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
- White</p>
<p>That's funny, because the Turks are closely allied peoples of the Mongols; this was apparent during the era of the Khanate of the Golden Horde, etc.</p>
<p>Congress needs to take AP World History -_-.</p>
<p>I was just discussing this case (and related cases) with a polyglot federal official the other day. Sometimes language affinities don't match genetic affinities very well at all. As the Census Bureau says, there isn't any science behind any of these classifications anyway.</p>
