I am Filipino/Luxembourgian.

From all the sources that I asked, I was not considered a minority even though I feel like one.

It would be interesting to hear what others have to say about this.
 
Answer was provided thanks guys!

I really would LOOOVE to see them change "Hispanics" to "Latino". All hispanics are latinos, but not the other way around.
 
I would have thought half and half ANYTHING falls under that "other" category. Don't they...?

I think you could safely check yes, you are and would like to be considered a minority. I don't think anyone would disagree with you either. As cited per Wikipedia:

Multiracial US Americans officially numbered 6.1 million in 2006, or 2.0% of the population. [See Multiracial]

Then it goes on to say the number may be higher or lower, depending on how you look at the stats.
 
you have to be a minority in dental field.

And No you cannot check the box. when they ask you why do you consider yourself minority? what will you say. ohh b/c you are a mix so you consider yourself a minority. Then like 80% applicants would be minority some people have like mad mix like 25% Italian, 25 %american, 13% Chinese etc...

Thanks for the information doc toothache. However, I'm afraid this thread is going to turn into a flame war against minorities and AA. FYI, I do have competitive enough stats. I was just wondering about the question, thanks guys. I'll ask a mod to lock the thread before it gets bad.

you're welcome

I was just about to post the exact same thing.
