<p>Are students of Dutch nationality considered to be URM?</p>
<p>not
at
all</p>
<p>Is the student in question from Curacao, Aruba or Bonaire? Is s/he a person of color?</p>
<p>Curacao; does this make a difference?</p>
<p>nationality isnt usually considered in terms of URM
its mostly color and ethnicity</p>
<p>No, those from Dutch are not URMs.</p>
<p>Only Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, African Americans, and Native Americans are considered URMs.</p>
<p>^ Not true. Many schools consider Hispanics of ethnicity outside of Mexico and Puerto Rico to be URMs.</p>
<p>bumblebee2010, As you well know, if you are from Curacao you may be of African, Dutch, Javanese, Amerindian, Arab, Venezuelan (and Venezuelan, like Dutch, is a nationality not an ethnicity as there are Venezuelans of many different ethnic origins), etc. ancestry or a combination of some or all of the above. So, to answer your question, yes, you can be considered to be a URM if you are a Dutch National. </p>
<p>kwu, there is a difference between ethnicity and nationality. As an example, there are many people in Curacao who are of African ancestry and have Dutch nationality. Another example is that in the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, close to half of the population is of Indian (i.e. Asian) ancestry, yet they are Trinidad and Tobago nationals.</p>
