More than a third of white students lie about their race on college applications

... since all humans are one race and so much depends on the culture you were born into and how you might "pass" in the dominant culture.

People who have always passed as "white" within the dominant white culture shouldn't be claiming to be something else, at least not without some caveats.

My niece once pulled her literal Indian card when she forgot to renew her fishing license and still she felt bad about that, even though her DNA and appearance doesn't pass as white. She is however a graphics artist living in white world and she wasn't fishing for sustenance, she was merely trying to impress a date.

I have some experience growing up torn between two worlds, in religion and sometimes sexuality, but I've always been very obviously white.
