"Minimal exposure" is the key. To be blatantly honest I think you are just considering the ethnicity thing because it might benefit you in the application. That said, put however the kid feels like.[/quote]

OP here - Please take the time to read what I wrote before making accusations:

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason why is that the OP is trying to figure a way get get URM status[/quote]

This is the OP here. Actually, neither I nor my spouse wanted to list the underrepresented minorities on the application. It was our child who did, because our child identifies with them. Ultimately, we decided not to, precisely for the reasons that many identified. We were definitely not going for a leg up or a hook, but we did want to be true to our child and his identity.
