<p>Dh’s family – not Hispanic – has said things to me as well about all the preferential treatment ds is getting because we’ve always marked him down as Hispanic. (Dh didn’t like his ethnicity lumped in with Anglo, so he suggested we go with Hispanic). It made me so angry. Ds is quite distinguished in his own right, earning Commended and AP Scholar w/Distinction and is an Eagle Scout, four-year varsity athlete, blah blah blah. It doesn’t hurt that he’s half-Hispanic, but he’s a great candidate aside from his ethnicity. My MIL even said that he shouldn’t take advantage of schools’ awards to Natl Hisp Scholars. And wth not??? I’ve already warned dh that if anyone in his family pulls this crap when he gets an acceptances I’m not responsble for my actions.</p>
<p>Deep breaths. LOL!</p>
