Forums - General - SAT Ethnicity Question

Nightwish224 on 16 October 2009

ANOTHER side note. I didn't care, nor did I understand the SAT in high school. I really think it's irrelevant as to how a person will perform in college. I did HORRIBLE on them, yet I'm going to a great university for my major that is nationally credited / internationally known in some areas.

Though I did have to go to a community college at first after HS to transfer to my current university... college is what you make of it. Don't be discouraged if you perform poorly on the SATs lol.

/rant over.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Actually the original context refers to Spain. Again, Hispanic isn't a race. It is an Ethnic/Linguistic group. Hispania= Iberia = Spain + Portugal + Andorra. You can be White and Hispanic at the same time. You can be black and Hispanic at the same time. You can be Native and Hispanic at the same time. You can be any race or mixture of races and Hispanic at the same time. That is because Hispanic isn't a race.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I think you're thinking too deeply into what I said lol. No worries, we're on the same page here.

Oh I agree with the European part, just not that they "aren't" Hispanic.  The funny thing about these people is, after they are proven wrong about Spaniards not being the same race as every latin american they go and try to bring up the moor inhabitants as "proof" of admixture. It is quite funny how far it has been embedded into their minds that Spanish isn't European nor "White".  It is either that group, or the ones so uneducated on geography/culture  they don't even realize that Spain isn't in Mexico. I actually have heard the question "Why is it called Spanish and not Mexican" brought up before.

Thanks for the help, guys.

PSAT's tomorrow, but I'm still confused about the legal stuff because I've heard no AND yes. If it helps, it's my mom's side that's mexican.

If you are still undecided, just don't put anything. If you want to put something, decide by the time you take the actual SAT's. Also think if you want the help in college or not, and decide if you think it is the right or wrong thing to do. If you are in a position that a minority may be in(economically hindered I guess would be a good word) then do it. If you are in a position that you could go through college fine then there will probably be a time where you would think that you are just taking advantage of the situation. Also, since your last name is a swedish one(assuming you took your Father's name like pretty much everybody does) then it might lead to some confliction, but otherwise it should work well legally.
