Don’t worry, I am sure that by the third or fourth round of interviews they will have eliminated you from contention by virtue of not being a minority status candidate or they will have chosen to not hire for that position after all.
By any chance could you say you where part Cherokee? I know of a lawyer who used that to go from obscurity to Harvard and then to the US Senate. Of course she was a double minority as a Native American and a woman. As we know women only make up 51% of the population, so they are the minorities of course.
“...I’m sure that by the third or fourth round of interviews they will have eliminated you...for not being a minority...”
Well, that’s a comforting thought. LOL!
How about if I just claim to be “Native American”? After all, I was born here, and thus by definition, that should qualify me as a native. Then again, I am a male and my skin is white, so never mind.
