| Bigtwix - the meaning of the term "hispanic" in the college admissions world is defined by usage. Portuguese people from Portugal in no way fit that term. Therefore, not claiming it does nothing for your argument.
Another way to look at this issue is to consider statistics. Typically, the number of Native Americans who enroll in top colleges does not come close to the number of them that colleges would like to see. Because of this, candidates like jag would not really be taking a spot from someone else. Also, jag's presence in the numbers could provide a more accurate view of progress made in the Native American population's quest for greater participation in higher education. |
