Would having Dominican citizenship be sufficient in itself to qualify as Hispanic/Latino in the US for the purpose of college admissions, diversity scholarships, etc.? Any thoughts?

If you are British, in the US you are Dominican.

How so?
I believe "citizenship" and "ethnicity" are not necessarily interchangeable.
Regardless of the correct answer (if there is one), you have opened up a great debate between myself, 2 friends, and several bottles of wine.Would having Dominican citizenship be sufficient in itself to qualify as Hispanic/Latino in the US for the purpose of college admissions, diversity scholarships, etc.?

Legaly change your last name, and have documents in that name. Again most scholarships/financial help is based on income, race, and grades. But, there is no DNA testing as a requirement. What happens to actual dominicsn born peoples with anglo last names? Are rhey not dominicans by birth right ? And all those chinese dominicans that go as dominican first, depending on need.

Are you Dominican? If not this is a process that takes years to achieve. You first need to apply for residency and have to live in the DR. Whatever your motivation is I don't think this is achieveable if you are living in the US.
I acquired Dominican citizenship last year.
