I wonder if a court would allow Asian teenagers to change their last name…

As someone who applied to college too long ago to remember anything - do you self-provide your demographics? Or do they try to guess what race/ethnicity you are based on your name?

They ask you to explicitly mention in the application. You can choose not to disclose, but then they'll try to guess it themselves.
