They only ask you that for statistic purposes, it's not like they score the test differently. -- Posted by Hi Carie at 6:50 am on Nov. 8, 2008 why would it matter? who would wantto lie about something like that? -- Posted by hubbabubba52 at 6:50 am on Nov. 8, 2008 i did that, but they did get kinda mad.. i took it in  6th an again in 8th grade -- Posted by Anonymous at 6:52 am on Nov. 8, 2008 Quote: from seekingsimplicity at 6:48 am on Nov. 8, 2008 well, i am techically by law African American, but check out my pics, i dont look it. do you have any black heritage at all. if you are at least one-eight, then you pass. no... -- Posted by hI jAMES at 6:53 am on Nov. 8, 2008 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. -- Posted by Anonymous at 6:53 am on Nov. 8, 2008 I mean when you apply and stuff, how do they practice affirmative action unless they look from that -- Posted by hI jAMES at 6:56 am on Nov. 8, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 9:53 am on Nov. 8, 2008 I mean when you apply and stuff, how do they practice affirmative action unless they look from that Just solve your problems and put Mexican down.  They'll understand.
