in high school, there was this one really ghetto girl in one of my classes who got into a log spirited argument with our teacher during some sort of test. Basically on a race thing, she bubbled in "other" instead of "african american" and put "black" on the line next to it. My teacher figured this was a joke (which it probably was, - or for attention)

but regardless, she's like "I'm Not African American, there's nothign african about me I've never been there, my parents have never been there... i'm Black"... i thought about it that day and agreed with her. I'm sure she made the scene for attention and she wasn't genuinely passionate about it like she was in the argument, but IMO she was justified in selecting "other"
