[quote=Anonymous]Something similar happened to my daughter, but in college. She applied to an internship at a government agency. The recruiters called her and asked if she would consider changing to a "fellowship" instead of the internship - for minority women. She is white. She immediately told them that she was white and that she didn't want to misrepresent herself, but they assured her it was ok because she attends a MSI - Minority Serving Institution. Meaning, she doesn't have to actually be a minority, she just has to be a student at an MSI to qualify. She wound up not getting the position, but the recruiters were very open and up-front about the fact that her actual race was not the qualifier. We found it a bit bizarre, but it certainly wasn't her fault.[/quote]
