Greek

Hey guys,

Both of my parents are Greek, born there and my WHOLE family is from there. they came to the united states for university (dad went to columbia which i know has a huge greek community, and mom went to BU). Greek was my first language and i learned english in like kindergarden/first grade.

i have both a greek passport and an american passport

do i qualify for a minority? or could i use this to my advantage at all really?

alright thanks!

Nope. Greek = white = not URM
