but now your Irish-American. They are asking for my native descent, not my skin tone. Am I African-American or Caucasian. By definition I'm African American, but whose definition is that anyway? Is there a set guideline for this? Maybe I'm trying to justify taking advantage of a system thats designed to level the playing field for underprivileged people. I don't know. Right now my LSAC has me listed as Other. I applied to undergrad as African American with the exception of Rutgers which I applied as white. I didn't get rejected from any schools. African American makes the most sense to me.
