Thanks for all the replies.
Both our kids have been tempted to put Asian or some such under "ethnicity" on forms. We live in Hawaii - they say the "feel" Asian, and isn't that all the libs require? If Billy Bob Clinton can be our first black president... shoot, we should be able to pass as Asian.

Sorry, I got to this thread late. My advice to your son would be, the only sure thing in life is death and taxes. The only secure careers in the future are in health care and government. The leg up that your son has over all the H1-Bs is that he's a US Citzen, thus he can get a security clearance.
Also, if you're going to fake minorities-- remember that Asians are higher-achieving in terms of income than even European-Americans, so many instutitions don't consider them disadvantaged like blacks and hispanics are.
What I would recommend is your son label himself a Hispanic and if anyone inquires why he has a "white" name (and they won't because its sort of prying), he can say his mother is Cuban. Look at Bill Richardson... Mexican-American pol, but you'd never guess it from his name.
