Help! Is my counselor being discriminatory?

Thanks for all of the responses! It’s nice to know that others were thinking along the same lines as I am. Unfortunately, my school only has one College Counselor, so I’m pretty much SOL. My mom wants to wait for her to write my recommendation letter until we complain to the superintendent. She doesn’t think it’s fair that we have to provide documentation for two very important things in our lives (ethnicity, and her illness). I’m concerned that my counselor may question my honesty in this matter, but, I don’t feel like I can do much at this point. I mean, I could show her the syringes my mom uses to inject herself with medicine? Or I could show her my mom’s birth certificate that states her birthplace, etc. I don’t know. I feel really concerned about this whole situation.
