Racial Unknowns
- It's stupid
- The categories are too general
- I don't see why there's any reason they should know
- What difference does it make
etc etc etc. One thing the article is probably right about is that the majority of those who refuse to answer are white. Given the unpopularity of being white now (not to mention male), this makes sense. IT makes even more sense with me because, though I am Caucasian, I am not really white (I'm not Whitey white Adams), but I'm definitely not Hispanic or Black (sorry, the term African-American is just so wrong in my eyes). As such I definitely do not want to be seen as "just another white kid" (although at elite institutions that's probably a good thing), but at the same time, I don't want to be seen as a "minority." I guess I really am in the middle somewhere.
