What should I choose to write in the 'race' category?

Question

I realize this is the wrong category but I was hoping for more answers.

I was born to Egyptian parents. Mother has Turkish roots, father has Turkish roots and Asian roots. My grandmother has blue eyes, both my grandfathers have green eyes, my mom has green eyes and so do I. Compared to Europeans I'm tan, compared to Egyptians I'm white. I have light brown hair. My nose is slightly wider than white pple's noses but its also alot thinner than black people's noses. I have full lips. I sort of have Angelina Jolie's look.
I'm curvier than Europeans yet not as curvy as most Egyptians.

Every damn application I have to fill there's this race question *that I have no forking idea why its still there!!* but anyway I'm tired of not knowing what to fill it with. My friends tell me I look white so I should just go with white but at the same time I'm not really white!! so..help me out here folks! What race am I!?

Answer 1

I personally answer 'other' or 'prefer not answer' if available, since I don't think we can label and characterize people accurately with those check boxes.

I would say put what would help you most - if it's a college application, don't put Caucasian, put black or African American. If it's a job application, put Caucasian.

For yourself? It doesn't matter - my father is 'mixed' because his parents grew up in towns about 150km away from each other in Norway. I am 'mixed' (or European-decent at best) because I have grandparents from 3 geographically diverse European nations. I live in America, so I just call myself an American, just like everyone else there. There are no 'pure' races anymore, be glad about it, one less reason to hate one another.

Answer 2

I suppose a complete lot of significance has been located on a experiment that has little software to truly lifestyles. In the primary position, all IQ exams, and correctly all exams, are culturally biased. As an illustration, I present the examination I took for my nursing licensure. There used to be a query that the majority Mexican American scholars overlooked on account that they did not realize what bouillon cubes have been. Seems a foolish factor, however that sort of query might price them elements on an IQ experiment. In addition, I Q exams experiment handiest exact forms of intelligence. As I baby, I used to be found to have an IQ above one hundred forty. But when you gave me a puzzle made of 5 portions of a horse, I could not get however 4 of the portions in combination. I additionally had, and nonetheless to a designated volume have, no social abilities whatever. Motivation is way more major than IQ. An common pupil with rough paintings can gain greater grades than a top-IQ pupil who simply will get through with out bothering to take a look at. But greater than whatever, looking to observe any around the board judgments to any organization of persons will continually lead to a couple persons who deserve a risk being excluded unfairly. The high-quality factor is to compare persons on themselves and their possess list, no longer through a few numbers on a experiment.

Answer 3
