Does being 1/4 Asian make my application more competitive?

I agree with the sentiment in post #23. Wisconsin, a public U, does not have huge Asian populations but does have significant SE Asian refugees from the Vietnam conflict. Those, not all, Asians, are considered underrepresented and given consideration. My 1/2 Indian son was one of the only Indians in his HS but there were many Hmong students whose families were relocated secondary to the Vietnam war. Numbers are not the only reason to declare a group is at a disadvantage.
