[quote=flu][quote=AN][quote=flu]As a suggestion for asian parents that want their kids to go to a UC school, perhaps the trick is (in addition to changing the last name temporarily), buy a house out of state and actually apply for admission as an out of state resident that will pay for the full tuition.. Just kidding… sort of..[/quote]flu, I totally agree with you about the name thing. Which is why, if you look at my kids’ names on an application, you’d think they have German decent :-).
But if you’re going to change their name temporarily, it might make a bigger effect if you name them something like Jamal or Jermaine or Monique or Keyshia.[/quote]
I think in honor of this bill, I’ll change my kid’s last name to Hernandez, just to make a mockery of this ridiculous “law”….
Please sign the petition, and get your significant other and all of your family members and relatives to sign…[/quote]I wonder if on the application, you check the Hispanic box. Would they be able to tell? Maybe that’s one way around it. You can very well have a Chinese dad and a Mexican mom and you just happen to identify yourself more with your Hispanic heritage. That way, you don’t have to go through the hassle of changing your name :-).
