<p>kei, the inevitability of your response is another reason why I suspected this of being a ■■■■■ post. It seems almost designed to elicit this response.</p>
<p>In my opinion, there are real practical problems if figuring out how to deal with Hispanic/Latino as a URM category. It is just so different from other URM statuses. Some Latinos have been subject to terrible discrimination, others not so much. Some provide a lot of diversity, some very little. Do colleges actually weigh all this, or do they just check the box themselves so they can indicate a good diversity stat? I don’t know.</p>
