You can leave your race and ethnicity off of your application. Although, they will still see where you’re from, it gives them the message that you don’t want it to be a factor. You could be Asian from PR for all they would know. And as far as geographic diversity, I suspect they will consider you a TX resident not a PR resident.
I don’t want “affirmative action” to work in my favor, but it probably will even tho I don’t want to
