Race/Ethnicity

I was explaining a job prospect to Josh.  It's a position at ISU working specifically with "disadvantaged students."  This includes those with disabilities, those from minority groups, those from low socioeconomic statuses, etc.  I said, "So, you'd sort of be part of that group... you're a non-traditional student."  He says, "And I'm in a minority group."  WHAT?!  "Um, yeah... I'M BLACK" and shoots me a look like he's offended by my oversight.
