<p>Quick question, I know that Filipino is listed under asian, but my family has hispanic roots in the Philippines (i.e. Spanish grandmother), so am I allowed to list my self as Hispanic and Asian, or no? And what do I specify as my specific background??</p>
<p>TIA</p>
<p>You have to realize that race and ethnicity are separate. You can be any race and be Hispanic/Latino (an ethnicity). So if you identify yourself with the Hispanic/Latino culture, then it is perfectly fine to mark your ethnicity as Hispanic/Latino, even though your race is Asian.</p>
<p>So to answer your question - yes, you can list yourself as Hispanic and Asian.</p>
<p>The OP should understand that within the Hispanic pool of applicants, adcoms look at many factors, including country of origin (see the Resources sticky thread, Hispanic applicants and College Admissions).</p>
