<p>Is it ok to state my race (mx-american) in the personal statement bcuz i talk about how in my community i was expected to become a gang member. Do u think there may be racist admission officers that may decline my admission bcuz race?- thanks</p>
<p>No. They're not supposed to judge on race, or gender, or sexual preference...stuff like that.</p>
<p>It shouldn't play any effect on your admissions either way.</p>
