<p>I don’t understand what’s causing you worry. You say you identify as African but are white; you put down your race, saying North African, which is understood to be white. What’s the problem? Normally I’d say to ask yourself whether you have identified as African your entire life, but you already said that you have. Stanford would not do anything if they discovered what your skin color is; you never misrepresented yourself. (Skin color is NOT important, not even for affirmative action. That’s why they ask you to put down what you identify as, because ethnicity is all about how you identify. If, say, someone was adopted, and they didn’t know what their ethnicity exactly was, but believed it to be Hispanic, so they identified as that their entire lives, engaged in the culture, spoke Spanish, etc. should they not put down Hispanic? Of course they should. Even if they found out one of their parents was actually from Sri Lanka.)</p>
