Hi,
I'm having some difficulty deciding what demographic to tick on my application. I was born in Pakistan, and moved to the United States when I was six. My mother is Arabic, and having had spent most of my time around Middle-eastern people growing up (mosques and such), I'd say I pretty much identify with the Arabic community.
I'm not sure whether or not I should write Caucasian (which is what Arabic people are supposed to mark) or South Asian. I hate to be that person, but I do want to know which one would benefit me more.
Physically, I feel my looks have always been confusing. If anything, people resort to calling me Spanish, unless they are South Asian, in which case they're able to properly identify me.
I just don't know which one I'd say I'm more of.
Best,
Logan
