race could matter as some schools have quotas they need to fill. You can not just put other if you do not want to report. If you do this they will assume that you are from a race that is not listed and thats not true. (my brother put other instaed of hispanic because he didn’t want to report on an application. they thought it meant he was native american or something and it caused him quite a few problems)
