I understand a lot of people have a hard time addressing questions similar to this but I am going to go ahead and ask-
My father is Asian (South Asian to be exact) and my name follows that. My mother is Latina. As far as what I look like, easily more Latino. Although, I am not fluent in Spanish, people will come up to me at the local Bodega and talk to me in Spanish. I grew up with my mom and a Hispanic heavy inner city.
In the South Asian culture, its a cultural norm to go with your fathers race, so that is what I have been doing this entire time.
What do I self-identify as? Hispanic, simply because I grew up with my mom, around Hispanics, and I look Hispanic.
But I don't want this to cause an issue during the application process. What would you guys advise me to do?
