If you've checked the box before them sure go ahead. If you don't identify as Asian then feel free not to.

I love how people want to be AA when its convenient. FYI if you look asian your going to raise eyebrows when the school seees you. I believe it even says check ALL boxes that apply.

Considering the title of your thread says half AA half pakistani, you should check both boxes.

I usually wouldn't say this without knowing more of your background, but you are a horrible person for even thinking you should/could lie about your ethnicity for... what, an admissions boost to law school?

Unfortunately, you'll get the same boost as someone who's fully AA. So since there's really no advantage to being dishonest, you may as well disclose.

He doesn't just "want" to be black, he is black.. or as black as Obama, anyway, and no one thinks twice before calling him black. And maybe OP has always identified as black. I don't see how anything he says suggests otherwise. The hostility in here is weird, bros.

edit: i just realized you guys might be biased by OPs affinity for chicken tikka so i forgive you

Funny,
Barrack is consider AA but he is black and white.
Tiger wood is also consider AA but he is black and yellow.

If you dont check black when applying for jobs or anything else in the field, then why should you be able to check it now... Secondly, why do you say noone thinks twice about calling he/she black? do you know how he/she looks. Have you never seen someone half black who looks nothing like a black person? Because i for one have family half black with blonde hair blue eyes. Trust me, these people dont walk in identifying as black because it gives them an upper hand, they identify as white, asian, anything but black. Sorry bro. Just keeping it real. No one said he shouldn't identify as AA but why conveniently leave out that your half asian????

Why is he considered AA? because you said so? Hes AA and Caucasian... and im sure he checked both before going to Harvard considering he was raised by he his Caucasian mother.

Okay, look. The title of this thread is Half AA/ half pakistani. Give me one good reason OP would be asking if he can only disclose the AA part, willfully not disclose his Asian ethnicity, and then check the box on the last page that says "I do affirm that all information provided is truthful and accurate." Other than to, you know, try and deceive an adcom into believing he's fully AA for a (supposedly) bigger boost.

And you know this how? He could and does identify as black, because everyone in the world does anyway

We all know obama identifies as AA now. But what does that have to do with what boxes he checked at law school?? How do i know this, is the same question i could ask you..

Your race is your race, regardless of what you "identify" as

I think we're quickly derailing here. It doesn't matter if other people see OP as fully black. It doesn't matter if the media sees Obama as fully black. It doesn't even matter if Harvard law saw Obama as fully black. What matters is OP clearly understands he's half AA, half Asian, and wants to manipulate his way into a better boost by lying on his application.

Am I wrong to be mad about this?

Sharpton, jackson and many others regard him as black.

I said sure because that would of been the proper thing to do. Considering his race is Black and Caucasian.

Barrack is always refer him as black not half and half .
Sharpton, jackson and many others regard him as black.

NO ONE DENIES THAT HE IDENTIFIES A BLACK. The point is "Your race is your race, regardless of what you "identify" as"

[applelover]

OP... you should check both boxes, especially if you did that for your college apps.

Everyone else...just leave OP alone. You answered his question. Thats all he wanted.

Have a good weekend everyone!!!

Yes actually because you shouldn't let people you don't know on the internet or their circumstances affect your emotions so much.

Seeing that you could only choose to be multiracial during the census since 2000, which race do you think he chose the rest of his life?

If i were you, I would just check off AA and leave it as that.

You have a AA parent. you are not lying. If any questions come up, it's simply answering it as "I identify myself as African American."

game, done, have fun getting money

Barrack should have chose white because he was raised by his white grandmother but I DO NOT know what he chose.

HIS NAME IS BARACK

I'm usually not a stickler for grammar or spelling, but since it has been spelled wrong so many times ITT, I thought I'd toss that out there
