I refused to check just one race for my kids, and handed it in blank.

Before I walked out, the lady at the front desk waved my over, and whispered to me that if a parent doesn't check a box, then the school would select one for them. When I asked which box they would check for my kids, who by the way, look predominantly Asian, she replied that they would select the race of the father.

So as far as the school district is concerned, my kids are white.
