of Caucasian when I was registering for the SAT?

Because i really wanted to but my mom said no.

Would they have actually gotten mad at me if I showed up white?

Because it doesn't matter. They only ask you that for statistic purposes, it's not like they score the test differently.

You know what they do with that race option?  They do statistics on it.  So if you lie, you wont get in trouble.  They don't check out your name and then hunt you down to see if you put the right one down! LOL.

Most people just don't care and just put the right one down.  It doesn't really matter anyway.

Just solve your problems and put Mexican down.  They'll understand.
