I’m pretty sure middle easterners fall under the “Caucasian” category depending on what region you’re talking about exactly, which is def. not a URM.

Do they really fall under Caucasian? Interesting. I’m talking specifically Iran/Afghanistan

I don't think so. As far as I'm aware, only Hispanic, African American, and Native American fall under "URM."

You’re considered white, you can list yourself as Asian since the Middle East is in Asia but I would highly recommend against that

@FanOfCostco where does everyone go to see these brand spankin new demographics!? Every time I google it, it always shows me super old stuff from 2010!

I’d also like to see avg GPA’s and DAT scores of accepted students by race too if that’s possible, but idk where to go

Yes, even though Middle Easterners are of course not “white” according to any standard/factual definition or usage of the term, political-correctness-wise they are not part of any “victim class” and so are grouped in with “whites” for lack of a better option.

Exactly
