- Manuel_D 3y agoUnderrepresented Racial Minority. Basically Black, Latin, or Native American. The last is a bit hand-wavy because there's huge rates of intermarriage in Native families, and many ethnically identify as white. Ideally I'd prefer if there was some mechanism to actually examine people's backgrounds. I'm Latin myself, but had educated parents, went to a top 10 school, and basically not disadvantaged in any way. But aggregate disparities do exist and I see reason to take action on them.
