Question

Juan is one of three Brazilian students currently attending a college in Indiana. His roommate, Eric, is one of several thousand Hoosiers attending the same college. As a result, Juan is ________ to be aware of his racial status than Eric is of his at any given time.

Answer 1

Answer: As a result, Juan is more likely to be aware of his racial status than Eric is of his at any given time.

Explanation:

In this case, Juan belongs to a minority group at his university. A minority group refers to a group of people that due to their characteristics (ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or religious preference) differs from the predominant group, and may experience some disadvantage.

Those who are part of minority groups due to their race often keep their racial difference in mind when they are in an environment where there are few similar people. On the contrary, those who live with people of the same race do not usually think about their racial status.
