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

Juan is more likely to be aware of his racial status

Explanation:

Juan belongs to the minority group at his university. The minority group refers to a group of people who are different from the dominant group because of their characteristics (race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious preference) and may experience some disadvantage. People who are part of minority groups due to their ethnicity often take their ethnic differences into account when there are fewer equal people. In contrast, people living with the same ethnic group usually do not think about their ethnic status.

C; skin, is the answer!
