What difference if you are a white American, black American, etc.? We are all Americans. Referring to Americans by color keeps us further divided. I can see using color and sex as a description if a crime has been committed, for ease of narrowing down the perpetrator you are searching for, (for example Hispanic appearing male or Caucasian female). But when applying for a job or entry to a college, I feel it is irrelevant; qualifications are more relevant (scores on SAT Tests, involvement in sports, volunteerism, work qualification-8 years managing 100 employees in an IT department, etc.).
