Talking about URM status

Recently I've seen people comment "URM?" or other variations on threads after another person posts about getting an II or A. It strikes me as a weird way to signal that someone would only get an interview or acceptance based on their race/ethnicity. The application process is quick to reduce everything to GPA/MCAT/stats, but I think as a forum we can do better.
