To the OP, Reality check....I recommend concentrating on what you can do to be competitive in the industry and maintain a positive mental attitude vice worrying about what racial "box" to check on an application. At the end of the day your coming off as an individual lacking confidence and compensating severely (my perception). I'm not opposed to healthy discussion, but it's unfortunate to see folks carrying on in this way. Not sure how this discussion is productive, just my 2-cents.
