Now, in this day and age, theirs a lot more than just white people. Like, we were reading this packet and the guy who brought this topic to my attention by writing an article we were forced to read is multiracial, asian and "Hispanic." I mean, how retarded are those little boxes?

I remember in 4th grade the teacher who was giving our 4th grade standardized test got asked why they had us even put our "ethnic group" and the response was basically "Its so if your black, and you failed the test epically, they're going to let you go, because well your black, and if your Asian, well, then your an epic fail because all Asians are smart"

I'm glad they have a other. But, when I check other I feel like I don't belong. "You're so fucked up with multi racial shit that you don't even get a catagory" is how I feel when I check other. Even though, I'm white. Pretty much white. Blond hair and a lighter skin tone. Its sort of a protest.

So, what are you guys' thoughts on the little gay boxes on tests for what race you are?

Being mixed I know first hand they are just BS

I bet a whole lot of ppl just put "other" for lack of anything decent to pick.
