A guy at my school did that - checked "African-American" instead of "white" since he was born in some country in Africa. It was so crazy b/c when he got to school, he was "white" for all intents and purposes but he was "African-American" on the application. My entering class was less than 5% of the population (there were supposedly nine of us out of almost 200) and we looked for that 9th African-American. It was so crazy to find out who it was...guess he wasn't joining the black law students association. smh
The craziest thing about it was that I don't think that he was confused b/c all of the other categories were "race" categories so why would they throw in a random category like "African-American" if it wasn't meant to indicate a race as well? I was kind of blown away by the whole thing.
