Half Black, half Asian -> URM or ORM?

<p>I’m not that situation, but I’m just really curious…</p>

<p>think about it!</p>

<p>How rare is a half black/half asain! They would be so underepresented it would be rediculous.</p>

<p>It’s not as odd as you think. A lot of AA enlisted men marry locals when they are stationed in Korea, Japan etc.</p>

<p>That would definitely be underrepresented. Take it as a whole person, not as halves. A friend of one of my uncles is half-asian/half-black, by the way. I just felt like sharing. She was really cool. Haha.</p>

<p>Like Tiger Woods?</p>

<p>Definitely under-represented. For the college app though, I’d put black, because it’s either gonna be good or bad, and I’d rather take a good effect. Or maybe other.</p>

<p>Boyfriend is half filipino/half black, the rank one in our school is half korean/half black. Weird.</p>

<p>tiger woods is half asian?</p>

<p>Tiger Woods is not half Asian…he is something like 1/8 Chinese or something.
So is Keanu. But he’s not Black at all.</p>

<p>I think everyone should tick [OTHER] box and stop giving the race info on the application. I think that Whites and Asians don’t mind doing that. It will totally frustrate the ADCOMS if they see only BLACK, HISPANIC and OTHER applicants. The media will pounce on their predicament and, may be,something good will come out of it.</p>

<p>Yes, the mother of Tiger Woods is 100% Cambodian. Last time I checked, that illustrious nation is situated in S.E. Asia.</p>

<p>Gag me with a fork. The stuff on CC that passes for discussion on race and ethnicity is typically fluff or nonsense.</p>

<p>mulitracial kids are almost always URM’s. Asians (except for Vietnamese, Filipinos, Cambodians, Hmong, Thai, etc) are ORM’s or THE majority at nearly every big university that has an excellent rep.</p>
