Hispanic Ethnicity, but what to put for race??

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>So, I'm Hispanic. Born and lived in a foreign country until age of 9 1/2. I'm Hispanic, and I don't really consider myself anything else. I have some blood of Native Americans and some of Black peoples due to the fact that we're very mixed...but above all, I'm hispanic...and nothing else.</p>

<p>What do I put besides "Yes" on the "Are you Hispanic" question?</p>

<p>I don't want to be considered as someone who prefers not to answer the race question, but I really don't see myself as anything else other than Hispanic.</p>

<p>You put the races you’re mixed with. So you’d check native american and black (and possibly even white if there’s any in you from spain/portugal?).</p>

<p>idk…if I were you, I would put down only Hispanic (because as you sad, you view yourself “above all as hispanic and nothing else”). I think there are some threads with answers to this question (as in 'would I be considered hispanic/african american/native american/etc. if…)</p>

<p>I was born and raised in Mexico until I was 12. I’m putting hispanic, and that’s it.</p>

<p>I don’t think that’s considered “not answering race”</p>

5

<p>So we can just put Hispanic and that’s it?</p>

6

<p>That’s what I was gonna do. IDK how people usually do it ;&lt;/p>

<p>The federal definitions linked to from the main FAQ and discussion thread </p>

<p>point out </p>

<p>a) any applicant can decline to answer either or both parts of the two-part ethnicity and race question now found on college application forms </p>

<p>and </p>

<p>b) people of Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race, including more than one race. (This year the race part of the two-part questionnaire allows a student to “select one or more” races, from the supplied list.) </p>

<p>Or you can just be human if you like, by marking nothing.</p>
