<p>Hey </p>

<p>Are these groups considered minorities...</p>

<ol>
<li>Spanish from Spain?</li>
<li>Italians ?</li>
<li>French?</li>
<li>Portuguese?</li>
<li>Polish?</li>
</ol>

<p>Or would these be considered all just "caucasians"?
Do any of these ethnic groups benefit from affirmative action?</p>

<p>Anyone has a website handy with this information??</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think people from Spain usually qualify under “Hispanic/Latino.” At least, they did at the universities I applied to.</p>

<p>All of the other european ones would just classify you as Caucasian.</p>

<p>My info is based on this: [Race</a> and ethnicity in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Historical racial and ethnic demographics of the United States - Wikipedia”>Historical racial and ethnic demographics of the United States - Wikipedia)</p>
