Ethnicity and Race

I have a nasty little habit of not responding when standardized tests or official forms ask for my race. I know it's probably lame, but I hate filling in the bubble next to "white, non-hispanic". It makes me feel so vanilla. I'm not vanilla, I'm rainbow sherbet. So I always check "decline to state" or "other". But now, my college is forcing me to tell them... OR ELSE. I just got this email from Student Records:

Dear Student,

When you first applied at CCA, you were asked to voluntarily identify
your race/ethnicity as part of the application process. However, the
Department of Education has recently issued new guidelines which
mandate changes in the way that colleges collect and report such
information. Therefore, we ask that you now re-identify your race
and ethnicity using the new categories.

The process will take fewer than 2 minutes. The 'Update Ethnicity
and Race Designation' form is available on WebAdvisor on the Students
Menu. The information you report is tightly controlled in a secure
database and is not reported to the federal government with your name
attached - only the summary statistics will be reported. It is very
important that the college be able to accurately report statistics on
it's student body as required by federal law, so we appreciate your
cooperation.

Thank you

Student Records Office.

Oh well, I guess the racial ambiguity party is over.
