<p>does middle eastern count as an URM? i know schools have tons of indians and asians, but i've never really heard anything about middle eastern people as anything in particular.</p>
<p>Straight from yahoo answers: No, URM status only includes Africian Americans, hispanics and native Americans.</p>
<p>I think, from reading various sources, arabs are considered caucasian.</p>
<p>“arabs are considered causcasian”. </p>
<p>Wow, I did not know that. Very interesting.</p>
<p>yeah, that’s pretty crazy. they/we look nothing like that. actually i do, my skin is REALLY light compared to the rest of my families and people often assume i’m just white, but my facial features would make you able to tell that i’m definitely middle eastern. anyway, i feel like that shouldn’t make sense. thanks for answering though.</p>
