<p>Yes - Appalachian is considered a minority and I agree with happymomof1 that you need to get some clarification from your teacher. </p>
<p>But I think if there is a way to check off “white” and “other” on an application, then that would work best. My concern is that if you check only “white” and leave the Appalachian part to a supplemental section that the information might be missed - especially with anything that specifically targets minorities.</p>
