I am Chinese and I can speak very little Chinese. I only speak Chinese with my mom but English to the rest of my family (siblings and father). So should I put primary language spoken at home is Chinese or English? Would it show more diversity if I put Chinese (I used to speak a lot of Chinese at home but we kinda assimilated and slowly spoke more English as we all grew older). But I am also thinking I shouldn’t put Chinese because I don’t want to seem like a stereotype because colleges expect more from Asians/Chinese. So if I put English then I would seem more Americanized and not the typical boring Chinese math-machine.

I know this is really trivial and probably won’t affect my app but I am kinda paranoid at which to put because I’ve read a lot of articles of ethnic discrimination.
