<p>I meant that on some applications, not ones on the common app but I remember specifically Auburn, you couldn’t check more than one ethnicity that you identify with. And like on Naviance it only says “Asian” and I remember in elementary school and stuff test forms would say Asian. I guess I can never bring myself to not check exactly two boxes is that I barely do anything Indian anyways- and I like holding onto what little ethnic identity I have. Its not that I have something morally against misrepresenting myself to a college, since what I bring to the table is not much more than any white person, I just hate being forced to choose like this at all. I don’t have any younger siblings though and I already applied everywhere. I imagine though that I am one of the few people who could actually get away with this…not having a last name or even mother’s maiden name which would give me away. Although I somewhat disagree that identifying with a certain race isn’t at least a little about looks. Yes, I don’t speak an Indian language and my one Asian parent grew up in the US but I do not look white at all and for this reason I have always felt like a minority in that way at least. In fact I have never even met another half Indian person in my life. Also “Non URM Multi Racial” which would really only mean some combo of white and asian, had one of the lowest numbers, like 90 or so people. So hopefully they realize that being bi racial is a completely different perspective from either race.</p>
