If traditionally, seniors are typically not found amongst PNMs during rush, wouldnt that make them a minority? Being a senior at a school, not a minority. Being a senior during NPC rush, minority.

Otherwise, I agree, this isn't a big enough issue for legalities to be involved, but just wondering.

ETA: oh, obligatory "lane swerve" clause.
