<p>If all humans descended from people in Africa, aren't we all African?</p>
<p>I'm not trying to get a "leg up" on applications, so don't go on and on about morality (which is bull), but if I put "Black" on my applications and colleges see me (white, blonde, blue-eyed) it's not like they can be huge a-holes and tell me I'm not African.</p>
<p>You can’t be serious.</p>
<p>i like your thinking.</p>
<p>I’m not even sure what to respond to this…</p>
<p>No matter what, this is called gaming the admissions process and is most likely going to get you rescinded/blacklisted if colleges find out you lied about something as significant as your own race on your application. They really value honesty and integrity (that’s why there’s a separate box for it on counselor and teacher recommendations).</p>
<p>If you subscribe to the theory that as organisms we came from comets that hit the earth, you could check “other” and write “I am from outer space”</p>
<p>^ +1 to that :D</p>
<p>^ lol</p>
<p>OP: I dare you to do that with all your applications.</p>
<p>And don’t tell us not to judge the morality of your question when you absolutely know that it’s a veiled slam against what you perceive are injustices based on the self-reporting of applicants. Puh-leez</p>
<p>I guess this was supposed to funny?</p>
