Okay all my life growing up I went to school. Well duh.
But anyway everytime there is the testing. . like Standard and the SAT's. . I have to circle in more then two bubbles to define my ethnicity. My teachers always say "Zocari your not supposed to circle in everything"! They overexaggerated. I only circle in a few. But I have to. Im Black.Italian.Bajan [or Barbadian//The country Barbados]. And German. I have no dominant race out of the four because my mom is 50/50 Italian.German. And Dad is 50/50 Black.Bajan. So basically Im a fourth of each. Every single test I have a good amount of circling to do  .How about you guys, does this occur with you? |

 Yes. It used to confuse me at first but now it's okay. At times I do circle in both races that I'm mixed with, can't do that anymore because I am told to circle the "other" option. But I am not"OTHER" because my races are on there, it's just more than one!  Confusing, but that's life. I love being different.

^ So your point in posting in this topic was.. ? Anywho, I'm always torn because I'm half Filipino and half white.
 But then I'm confused as to whether I fill in "Pacific Islander" or "Asian." Gah.

But this was when I thought I was full-on Filipino. But apparently, I'm also Chinese, Spanish, and Russian. I just fill in "Asian", lol.

Well I'm Thai and Puerto Rican, but since I look more Asian than Hispanic I just circle Asian.

Yeah I never know which one to pick...I usually end up picking other because I don't want to pick one ethnicity and I don't think they let us pick more than one, haha...I'm Spanish, Filipino, Chinese, Hawaiian.

I've never had to circle any bubbles to define my ethnicity before but sometimes I am confused.
I didn't even know I was part white until a couple of days ago. I don't define myself by any ethnicity because I honestly have no idea where I'd fit in. |

just fill in the one that gives you more of an edge, haha...
well asian versus white isn't as clear, but like asian versus hispanic, choose hispanic! wooooo affirmative action. you might have a higher chance of getting into a good college that way ;) and for stuff not related to academic things, eh...i don't know. i never had that problem, but i would probably just keep it consistent. |

Are you ready for this? I am Polish, German, Scottish, Cherokee, Mohawk, British, Irish, Italian, and African American.
Don't even get me started on being confused. And the thing is, I constantly get mistaken for Hispanic--the one thing I'm not. |
