In some caribbean islands there are many Indians (from the country India orginally). For example, the OP’s mom could be from Trinidad, and of indian origin. She would still be considered a “minority” in the US, although possibly not a URM for college admission purposes-not sure about prep school. So, nothing she said seems strange- but I agree with her it’s really not anyone else’s concern.
