underrepresented minorities (at least in terms of medicine, law, and in some cases, undergraduate admissions) = black, hispanic, native american

overrepresented minorities = asians and whites

if there are any other URM groups, please add.

URM = African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans and mainland Puerto Ricans

URM does not include all hispanics.
