They ask me for my "Ethnic Origin." Meaning?! Is that just a euphemism for race?

 

[pops619]

No, not really race but where your family comes from. You know, Italian, Irish, Serbian, etc.

 

[Star Power]

Ah, okay. Thank you.

You don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but they're asking for your ethnic background.

Protip: Putting down anything besides "white" equals an automatic 20% reduction in pay and six months doing the worst job in the building (usually scrubbing the boss' personal bathroom with a sponge)

Make sure to circle and triple underline the "white" choice, and draw a cute little American flag next to it too; it'll raise your starting pay by 60% and give you first pick at office ho

Actually, a real "protip" is that they can't legally question anything you put down besides "native American." It's against the law (except for native Americans, because they have a unique dual-citizenship sorta status thing going on). I found this after my Egyptian friend put "african-american" on his application, got in trouble (because he techincally wasn't - because as we all know, "African-American" really just means black), and then got out of it when it was pointed out.

What? How would one get in trouble for that? And who exactly is the one to administer the trouble?

Got something (letter maybe?) from the admissions office. I don't know, he was always more caught up in how pissed off he was that he couldn't put "African-American," despite the fact that he was much, much more African than 90% of the people who are technically supposed to be able to put it down.

I have a friend who of egyptian heritage and he puts African American. Even got some scholarships and such

 

[teiresias]

I always answer "Eden" to that question.

 

[Tainty]

Why not put down African-American, Egypt IS in Africa after all, and anyone who questions that has a small penis.

Come again? What exactly is this unique status?
