<p>I knew this would occur. The top colleges will start to see foreign blacks as an ORM and will try to decrease the amount they accept. Have you noticed in the last few years they added a subdivision of the black category into US/Black American, African, and Caribbean/West Indian on college applications? They even have Patois listed as a separate language when it’s just a dialect of English. Many black immigrants take pride in their ethnicity and will check those appropriate boxes not knowing that in this day and age, it will hurt rather than help them. I am a product of an Black American parent, and African parent, but culturally I definitely identify as Black American first. On my common app, I only checked the American box because I knew something was shady about them now separating blacks</p>
