Is it smarter to pick "Other" as your race?

<p>tokenadult, Thanks for the great info. you have provided. However, I am still not clear, can an applicant mark Hispanic for ethnicity and undeclared for race? Take my son´s example, he is a colored, American born, half Hispanic of mixed racial ancestry who basically attended poor Hispanic (Mexican) elementary and middle schools in Texas. In racial appearance he looks like the Carribean people of similar racial heritage:</p>

<p>As far as his race/ ethnicity is concerned, </p>

<p>on his father´s side (me), he has mixed Islamic Afghan and Islamic Indian heritage: Paternal grandmother was 100% Muslim Afghan. Paternal grandfather was 100% Muslim Indian. This would make son, perhaps, 1/4 Asian (Indian), 1/4? (Afghan). However, he does not speak Afghan or Hindi/ Urdu. </p>

<p>on his mother´s side, he has 100% Catholic Hispanic European heritage. However, he does not look European.</p>
