they find out you're no longer that race. It must have been a mix up with my work in high school. I went to an online school. Somehow my mom must've put me as hispanic. So when I went into testing I saw when I signed in it said hispanic. They saw me and my mom come in obvious it was a mistake why couldn't they just change it for us? Kind of was annoying because when I came bck it said the same thing. My mum's obviously a dark skinned african American. She had typical germn name mine hebrew there was no clue of being spanish pretty clear to me... Why don't organizations fix the obvious mistakes? I had to have my mom pick me up because I was underage... They knew it was her... Doesn't that seem like the obvious thing to do?

You just said you mark down hispanic as your race in another post. And what does your moms last name have to do with this?? and the fact that she picked you up??

[truportodfa]

The real question is why are they recording race at all?

Politics: libertarian
Beliefs: I believe in the quran Doublethink.

Doublethink.

I don't think they are.. When I took the cahsee when I was in high school I never had to put down my race... this is bs.

Didn't you write you're half australian aborigine/hispanic/pacific islander?
I'm kinda confused.

no I've always said I'm 100% black look back you'll never find a single post I said otherwise. I'm part pacific islander by an eighth but I consider aborigine black I said when I asked you guys to classify me the whole time through that all that was verified was that I'm black all else was heresay. The heresay stuff is that I'm part native american which is possible but farfetched... lso that I'm part Irish but that's even more laughable as my grandpa is maroon and so is grandma. So I discount it mostly as untrue... I never said I was hispanic and heck yeah I'm a muslim there are many afram muslims we're the biggest american muslim population.


by pacific islander I mean aborigine since that's the pacific ocean... Either way neither race is hispanic anyway so them listing me this really makes no sense.

Hispanic is not a race. It's a mega-ethnicity for lack of a better term.

Hispanics can be Black.

Immigration to Latin America wasn't all from Iberia.

One of the most important Afrocentric historians is a Black Puerto Rican with a German surname. I forget the name. It's starts with an S and ends in -berg. Schomberg or something like that. The rapper from Cypress Hill's last name is Freese, as another example.

my mom's name is german but her real paternal name is english

you're right you have point there where I was was in northern nevada though most black people are actually black there but we had afromexican neighbors but their last nmes were spanish. But I guess names can be different sometimes.

You said you were only black and aboriginal.. How is your moms name german?

[Vjwkvkoy]

well yeah that's crazy I don't even really know why or he came up with the name. But like her dad had issues with stuff kept changing his name his name is english and so is grandma's. Their ancestor's slave owners were probably english. But my mom and her siblings got stuck with a made up name with no lineage... I think he had trouble with the law or something. Most black people have european names given by past slave owners that's what I always presume at least...

oh and mybe because I went to a virtul school it was different but I just remember signing in and near my name it said hispanic...

Also why it matter that my mom picked mwe up because they knew once they saw us we weren't the typical hispanics my mom looks african would be hard to find that phenotype among hispanics there not saying it couldn't happen though. I get it now maybe they didn't want to seem rude.

[wantedLOX]

Well I had to mark down my race when I took that test. Same for when I took the CST, PSAT, SAT and ACT. hmmm....

[7kitthuptarill]

Usually I fill in any category other than Asian when I am asked for my "racial" background on tests. I could care less about what race they think I am...even if it increases my chances of getting a scholarship.

[antilt]

It isn't their job to guess your race and mark it down for you. If your mom marked wrong in the first place, you can blame her. Anyway all this name changing, I don't look Hispanic, etc. all looks suspect to me. Just trying to read those jumbles of text made my head hurt.

I always mark black on forms, especially school ones/FAFSA application. I like to think that one day it'll help me get scholarships, but it doesn't. Mostly it's about income now. People of all races whose families make less are flying through college for free.

[OQmYckYz]

why, if it is such a big deal to you and presumably your mother, didn't you just ask them to change it to black then?


and as adament as you are about not being hispanic, its funny that you have a dominican flag in your profile..

[G778G9P0]

I end to either put other if I don't want to tell my ethnicity or say I'm black. We finlly fixed it the following year I believe...
