The same is true for most 2nd generation immigrants (children of immigrants). You have no connection to Italy, you likely don't speak the language, and likely know very little about Italian culture outside of food and some basic traditions. If you're Italian-American, that doesn't make you Italian. We Arabs (actual immigrants, I'm from Iraq, born and raised) mostly don't care. What I find fascinating is that it's Arab Americans or Armenian Americans who spend so much time caring, arguing and fussing over these things. If one of your parents is White, there's nothing wrong with choosing "White" or "mixed-race" (if that's an option). But if the only option on the form is "White", then I suggest you use "Asian" because that's a more-accurate descriptor. You can be Caucasian and have darker skin.
All of Armenia is directly inside the Caucasus Region, so by definition, Armenians are Caucasian. "Caucasian" can include "White" and non-White people, because Caucasian is a regional descriptor (the Caucasus Region is an actual geographic region in Southwest Asia). "White" refers to people of European origin.
MIDDLE EASTERN PEOPLE SKIN
Idk white feels wierd cause we have so many mixed cultures, and our skin isn’t white either 🤷🏻♀️ Anyways byeee❤️ Honestly I’m also really confused with my race, I’m marrocan, and some people just classify me as African ( North African) or Arabic, I just feel like that as a marrocan that I classify as an Arabic person more then a North African person, I’m also confused, and I’ve seen a lot of comments saying we are being categorized as white, wich I don’t really understand why, cause if anything we fit more into arab or African ways then white, I feel like ueropean ( depending the country) or Americans should be only classified as white, because honestly we don’t have any white privileges or anything like that, nor do we have super white skin or white features, nor do we live in America or uerope, I would say that we should just classify ourselves as Arabic, most people forget that there’s another race, ( Arabic) so I would say as someone from marroco ( half berbers and half marrocan) that I classify as either Arabic, or North African, and I would say the Middle East should also classify as Arab, not white. Alternatively you could select "prefer not to say" if you're worried about the impact it might have on your chances. Whatever you plan on selecting for the Common App is probably what you should select for CollegeVine. Some colleges will review an application from North African students who self identify as Black with that context.Īt the end of the day you should select whichever one you identify more as or, I guess, whatever context you would like colleges to consider your profile in. Students with Israeli heritage are usually treated as white.
“White – A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.” When colleges report data and statistics to the government, they count students with a Middle Eastern or North African background as white (see quoted text from the census website below) per government definitions. To some extent this is driven by the student’s self reporting as well - if a Middle Eastern student self identifies as white, they are more likely to have their profile reviewed with that context. So the specific policy is going to depend from college to college, but generally speaking most colleges will either treat a Middle Eastern student as Asian or White for the purposes of admissions.
