<p>My mother=black my father is white, for college is it ok that I only check off African American?</p>
<p>No, you should check off both because that's honest. You'll still get the AA benefits of being black, though, so it really doesn't matter.</p>
<p>You're white in the college's eyes.</p>
<p>I don't think you HAVE to check off your other ethnicity. I didn't.</p>
<p>There is no "have to." It doesn't say, "Check what you are." It says, "Check the group with which you would like to be identified." As such, pick black, white, or both</p>
<p>id like to be identified with the black alaskan native population, but we all don't get what we want do we? ;-).</p>
<p>but yeah, even if your 1/4 of any minority, i would recommend solely checking that.</p>
<p>Just2Fitz, are you kidding? That makes zero sense.</p>
<p>jags861...we can only dream :-p </p>
<p>So, i guess its ok that i only check off african american then</p>
