So....if?

If she claimed to be white, as those light tan people who claim to be black, instead of a minority she would have gotten in?

Why can’t we all just be people?

They probably have a “national origin” system for classifying them. IIRC, NY had about 30 different categories (Samoan, Indian, Hispanic white, non-Hispanic white, etc.).

As usual, groups that do well are restricted. Asians are limited in the University of California system, for example.

Seems highly unfair and even unconstitutional to me, but that’s American law-by-judiciary for you.

What if she just refused to enter in a racial category when filling out the forms like I did while I was in college?

I love it!

Exactly...we’re only separated by 50k years at most. So the difference are really nothing.

If we did that, all the race pimps would lose their livelyhoods.
