and no, you’re not a minority, as in underrepresented minority. the only people who fall into that category are hispanics and african americans.</p>
<p>I believe you are considered Caucasian.</p>
<p>I think you are Asian.</p>
<p>Middle Eastern. Which is considered the same as caucasian by colleges.</p>
<p>If there is no Middle Eastern category, pick Caucasian. The Census Bureau lumps middle easterners together with whites.</p>
<p>You are NOT ethnically Asian.</p>
<p>Iranian people classify as white. You are welcome to mark nothing at all on any ethnic identification form you find as part of the college admission process. </p>

<p>is posted in the College Admissions Forum. It includes lots of links to the official federal definitions of the categories, to federal regulations about how colleges are to ask ethnicity questions as of next year, and a LARGE list of colleges that admit a lot of students who are “race/ethnicity unknown” because the students didn’t fill out the forms.</p>
