Hilarious. Reminds me of the story of a high school senior last year who had immigrated from South Africa to the USA and said that he was African American on his college applications. He was deluged with scholarships until it came out that he was white.
I know a South African emigre who got his U.S. citizenship while a junior in college. Marched down to financial aid, filled out an African-American scholarship application, and got a free ride for his senior year at Tulane.
