ONCE and for all people understand what this is... RACE and ETHNICITY are TWOOOOOOo very different things. The word Hispanic to me is a dirty nasty WORD... it was invented by the NIXON administration as a way to combat AA... Now the comment I just made is true but it doesn't mean it is totally negative... For this specific reason, Latin Americans have had it bad too in certain respects for certain groups.
I am Cuban / Italian and I can totally comment on the subject. My fater was what is know as "MULATTO" which means a mixture of white black and whatever else needs to be thrown in there. IN CUBA... this is darn near the majority of people... HOWEVER... if you come here to Miami you would think Cubans where "white people" When the truth is they aren't all white, far from it. Now, my mother being Italian, 2nd generation, I come out looking like I do... if you'd like to see,
www.myspace.com/cxm... My point to all of this is this... I am going to have an easier time in society than a black person... LETS be HONEST... but, for those who are out there and race is race to them, I am going to have my troubles here and there. AMCAS knows this, which I am actually happy about because a "WHITE" mexican or Cuban or whatever is freaking WHITE CAUCASIAN... there is not going to be discrimination to them... I mean yea the accent might be a knock but from a white person to a white person you are a WHITE PERSON... NO need to be considered a URM...
I think what you did is the best thing you can do and is honest...
As well I like your stats and I wanted to know if you were like me and messed up during your freshman year? hahahahahaah
