That has been an issue with some of my friends who are in graduate school. The thought is that Africans living in the country are grouped into the African American pool when applying and therefore could potentially be "taking opportunities" away from American-born AAs. Now, I can't really speak on either side because my father was one of those Africans living who got the opportunity to go to undergrad and grad school here. But he worked his butt off to make straight As to get a scholarship to go to grad school. Who can fault that? But it seems that someone else gets kicked out of the running because he was put in the same bracket. They do not deem them as foreigners, so they cannot put them in that bracket either. Where would they go??
