In my case I’m male (no), gay (yes), and half Chinese half Jewish white (maybe).

Gay will not be an admissions advantage anywhere. As far as URM, each college, where legally allowed, if free to determine what it considers to be URM. One such definition is:

Under-represented minority

Currently includes African Americans, Mexican-Americans, Native Americans (American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians), Pacific Islanders, and mainland Puerto Ricans
