<p>Should I just put other? Is other even an option? Anyway I'm not full or half of anything... I'm Turkish, Persian, Iraqi Jewish on my mom's side, my dad doesn't completely know his ethnicity... he is definitely mixed race and probably part Mongolian and Russian</p>
<p>I'm kind of hesitant to put Asian but should I? It wouldn't be completely accurate</p>
<p>You seem to be mixing up terminology somewhat. </p>
<p>For college admissions purposes, the only ethnicity of interest is Hispanic, you are not Hispanic.</p>
<p>The things you are listing are countries of origin, not race. If you look at the CA, you will see that people coming from Middle Eastern countries are considered white. From a google search, it appears that the racial make-up of Turkish people is complex, it looks like they are a mixture of Asian and white, but that the European side dominates (note: I don’t know how authoritative this article or the book it cites are):</p>

<p>From what you have described, it seems like you could check either white or both white & Asian. Remember, you also have the option of not checking anything.</p>
<p>Well I don’t identify as being white. So there is an option of not checking anything? Thanks. I think I’ll just do that, haha</p>
<p>I think it’s better to chose white than Asian for college apps sake lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not telling you what you should put, you asked for input and I gave it to you based established racial definitions and the information YOU gave.</p>
<p>

<p>Please read the last sentence in my earlier post again, carefully.</p>
<p>Um I just thanked you for the help. Wasn’t trying to be rude… no need to get all defensive. And that was a rhetorical question. </p>
<p>and thanks bleach</p>
<p>You don’t have to list anything. I will likely opt not to, in part for similar reasons. Leaving this part of the application blank has been shown over years not to decrease the likelihood of acceptance.</p>
<p>^The OP says that was just a rhetorical question :rolleyes:</p>
