The Arab kids in Brooklyn used to complain that their Hispanic and Black classmates received special services/tracking for college admissions, yet they did not, as they were classified as "white," even though they did not consider themselves white Americans.
Don't get me started on that "Hispanic" BS. Most of my colleagues when I worked down in Miami were as white as I am.

I always wanted to make a movie ridiculing the concept of racial preferences & set-aside programs in the U.S. by doing a story where a poor dark-skinned Italian kid has to pay full tuition at some university because he's "white", while his neighbor, a fair-skinned blue eyed white kid with a "hispanic" last name due his grandfather's spainard ancestry, gets into college on a "minority" scholarship.
