text: is your 5th # in your (soc security) ss# odd if you are white and even if you are black? there is a theory that this is the case. so far with my friends this is the case. please let me know if this is the case. just say white, odd or even or black, odd or even. the information is said to be used for good or bad by those (like banks and employers). no this is not the case.  race can not be determined by a social security card.
