| RagingBull, what is your race?
Finale, are Indian-Americans considered URM or are they considered Asian-americans (ORM) which makes it as difficult for them as for whites? You know so many languages, wow! | |

| jimbob1225, because he was implying that indian americans might be thought of as URM's. Indian is a common name for Native Americans. That's why finale said that.... | |
