I'm technically Chinese, but I'm from South Africa. Am I African American (URM)?

<p>

Responding to a query with a word or phrase is acceptable. “There” wasn’t, but so what.</p>

<p>Also, “Native Americans, such as myself, should check the third box to the left in Section II.”</p>

<p>You, as am I, are the very definition of “Hispanic” whether you want to label yourself it or not. What you and I are not is Latino(a)/South American.</p>

<p>There is no way in hell that would work. African American is basically a politically correct term for black people. In South Africa, people would call you black if you’re black and white if you’re white. A white person can’t just jet-off to the US and claim that because they’re South African and now they’re in the US they’re African American…same with Asians by the way…</p>
