<p>Well there you go, save yourself the trouble.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this warrants a bunch of analysis. Also if you would be uncomfortable or it would take you longer writing a college level research paper in your parent’s language then you have your answer. I certainly know my parents didn’t “worry” about which box to check, they never spoke English until dropped off to kindergarten and there were no “special classes” for ESL and they never looked back - they were Americans and they spoke English. I highly doubt the universities cared much about their proficiency at the language their parents spoke. It was a different age but, we tend to over analyze things these days, ESL is great don’t get me wrong it eases the assimilation, but people generally know which language they are most comfortable in, even when they are truly bilingual.</p>
