My son just marked “other” on one of his forms and wrote in “American.” Now he is getting literature from tribal colleges and Native American programs.
To laugh. Years ago, when our kids were sending off for college catalogs, my friend’s daughter checked off *Native American* ... within a few days their mailbox was stuffed with thick envelopes with multiple scholarship offers. When the mom backtracked, and asked the daughter what happened....daughter said, *but I am a native, and I’m American, I thought that was the best choice.* [insert mother’s facepalm here]. IIRC, she made her daughter call each school and apologize. ;)
