Would my ethnicity improve my chances?

<p>

This poster may be joking, but there have been plenty of threads like this, some of which involved kids that really weren’t sure what to put down. The question of who is Hispanic, in particular, is not so easy to figure out. What about Brazilians? Filipinos with Spanish surnames? People from Spain? Etc. There are even periodic questions from white South Africans who want to know if they are African Americans. No, they aren’t, but they really seem to think they might be. Greeks who want to know if they are “white,” believe it or not. People from the Middle East are particularly unsure.</p>
