Since every school wants a "well-balanced" student body, I think Asian kids are the ones most likely to have higher levels of competition for the "asian spots". Blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ethnicity-box-will-your-lo-check#post-441407 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:07:17 +0000 autumnlove 441407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mixed Asian? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ethnicity-box-will-your-lo-check#post-441405 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:06:33 +0000 mrsjyw 441405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>'Mixed' I'm Korean n dh is Caucasian </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ethnicity-box-will-your-lo-check#post-441404 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:04:35 +0000 jedeve 441404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White. But I'm sure the system will be overhauled by the time the kid is old enough for it to matter. Federal reporting on race and ethnicity makes no sense, especially since race is not a biological reality and the way they divide up racial/ethnic categories is pretty poorly done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ethnicity-box-will-your-lo-check#post-441399 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:02:29 +0000 Alivoo01 441399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asian - I'm Chinese and the hubby is 1/2 Cambodian and 1/2 Chinese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ethnicity-box-will-your-lo-check#post-441389 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:58:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 441389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: i definitely think about that too! then there's the question... are you at a greater disadvantage if you check asian or white? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-ethnicity-box-will-your-lo-check#post-441382 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:56:14 +0000 mrsjazz 441382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Black or African-American box. </p>
