Race is always an easy go-to minority designation for me. As a pretty unique mix—half-Pakistani, half-Filipino—I’m under no illusion that I’ll find other Pakipinos (that’s right) wherever I am unless my brother’s around. That said, of the seventy-some people in attendance, it was glaringly obvious that there were only a handful of us with slightly more pigment in our skin than others.

I suppose the alternative - Filistani - sounds a bit too much like Philistine?
