<p>If you reread the OPs statement and yours, you will see the misconception that I have already stated twice in this thread about the difference between race and ethnicity. Being/thinking of yourself as white (or any other race) does NOT preclude you from being Hispanic, these are two different concepts that are NOT mutually exclusive.</p>
<p>You conclude that because he states that he thinks himself white, he cannot also consider himself Hispanic, that is not NECESSARILY so. For instance, my kids consider themselves white and Asian, because they are–racially. They ALSO consider themselves Hispanic, because they are–ethnically, culturally, etc. There is no conflict between these two statements.</p>
<p>As I have stated ad nauseam, it is the purpose of this forum to provide the facts about what is considered Hispanic for college admissions. We are not the gatekeepers for determining the motivation of an applicant. That discussion takes place by adcoms of colleges (as it does for any non-verified part of the application) and continually on the College Admissions Race thread.</p>
