My son and daughter both filed for college as Hispanic. If you put either one of them in a police lineup and asked someone to pick out the Hispanics neither one of them would ever be chosen. No look, no accent, nothing. But if you spent 30 seconds with their Peruvian mother you would see why they applied the way they did. You have to take advantage of every opportunity.

I had friends at church, surname McGraw. Red-headed Scots by ancestral origin. Their children were born when they were working in South Africa. As children of American citizens, they were American citizens, but could rightfully label themselves "African American" owing to the location of their birth. At college, they attempted to join an African American group on campus. They were rejected by the American born black people that have never set foot in Africa.
