Question about race....

<p>I'm equally half white, half arabic, and half asian. What am I supposed to put in the race section for the common app?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You’re 3/2 of a person!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Doesn’t this equal 150%?</p>

<p>I would go white.</p>

<p>You’re so awesome you can’t be contained in a single human?</p>

<p>Edit: Dammit! :/</p>

<p>I heard humans that are 1.5x other humans are weighed as 2 separate applicants</p>

<p>lol put it all down. The adcoms will be liekk woaahhzz</p>

<p>Go with arabic. Putting down White won’t help you and putting down Asian will definitely not help you.</p>

<p>Lol Asian & White.</p>

<p>I doubt Arabic would help either.</p>

<p>Being Arabic is white, so you won’t have any advantages. Your basically half white and half asian. So put other or don’t answer it, that part is optional.</p>

<p>^ That depends. If you are egyptian arabic you are technically African-American. Go URM!</p>

<p>^^ See, that’s what I thought as well. Arabic is considered caucasian or white, right?</p>

<p>^ No. Egyptians are still considered white.</p>

<p>I’m half boy, fully male, and half man. Does that make me 2x a person?</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Dumb ■■■■■ is dumb.</p>

<p>^^ No, that makes you almost as lame as kvothe.</p>

<p>The point is, races aren’t mutually exclusive so it doesn’t make sense to just add them…</p>

<p>I guess that sucks for white, Arabic, & Asians to get into sexy college…</p>

<p>But Eventually everything will balance out again.</p>

<p>They want to get as much brownie points as they can for being a diverse applicant or blah blah blah something about AA :D</p>

<p>^^
Bad ■■■■■ is back.</p>

<p>You missed me.</p>
