Race vs. Ethnic Background ???

<p>Just follow the instructions. The preliminary application asks for ‘Race’, either ‘White’ or one of the possibly targeted minorities and is mandatory that it be filled in. Next the application asks for ‘Ethnicity’. It is also mandatory and is nothing more than a further clarification for the ‘Race’ input. If one is white, there is no choice but ‘Other’. However, for example, if one selected ‘Asian’ for race, their choices for ethnicity would be ‘Filipino’, ‘Korean’, ‘Japanese’, ‘Chinese’, ‘Guamanian’, Vietnamese, or ‘Other Asian Descent’. A ‘Hispanic’ race would require a “Puerto Rican’, ‘Cuban’, ‘Mexican’, ‘Latin American with Hispanic Descent’, or ‘Other Hispanic Descent’. Not rocket science. If you feel that it is none of their business, simply select ‘Declined to Respond’ for race and ‘Other’ for ethnicity. They don’t really care about white Europeans.</p>
