Look this is how it's exactly written wit options:

White
Black
Hispanic
Asian American
Native American

LMAO. Dang.

What about mixed children? Why do they need your race? To show how one is superior to the other? To make more notice of ethnic backgrounds? What about Middle Eastern people? What do they select? Is there really a reason for this?

There's no need for it. Everybody is gonna be like statistics. Fuck statistics! What do those prove? There's no NEED for them. Stop categorizing.

I don't mark nothing down. I don't bubble in nothing. And I hope ya'll do the same. No matter what YOU are, white black and everythang in between. You shouldn't be judged becuz of this. It's none of their business.

The tests are culturally bias so it makes a difference.

For example, if you look at the questions on the standardized tests, they assume the student is white, look at the names they use in the examples and the activities the people are doing.  It says something like "Sally was trying to decide if her favorite president was George Washington or Abraham Lincoln."   Or, "WW1 was a successful war because it..."   blah, blah, blah.. successful war for who?  For the white man.

They really have an option for mixed races? That's what really pisses me off. A kid who is a mixed race doesn't even know what the fuck to fill out.

So Middle Eastern ethicnity would fill out Asian? Wow, didn't know that.

Sometimes they have mixed races. Not always (in fact it's not that common). Middle Easterns are clasified as White in American, not Asian.

For real??? That's interersting. How they figure that?

I don't know. Even North Africans are classfied as White. Makes no sense to me.

Damn, now that's even more interesting.

Um, they are doing it to give extra points to non whites.

White folks are the only people in the world that discriminate against themselves. It is really quite bizarre.

So when Uncle Tom automatically considers himself inferior because of 400 years of conditioning that is not discrimination against himself?

^Blacks calling other blacks "Uncle Tom" because of their lack of cracker-hating is rather discrimination against their own kind.
