The term minority student would normally be used to refer to a student who belongs to what is known as a visible minority, which is to say, the student in question has some visible racial characteristic such as skin color or type of facial features by which it can be seen that he or she belongs to a racial minority. There are all sorts of minorities, but not all of them are visible.

Why is race and ethnicity discrimination more important than gender discrimination?
There may be some individuals who make the argument that racial and ethnic discrimination are more important than gender discrimination because the disparities between the minority classes and the "discriminator" class are more pronounced than the gender differences, but this strikes me as a silly argument. Racial and ethnic discrimination, although more disparate, is less entrenched than gender discrimination, especially as concerns men who join traditionally female gender positions. The idea that a Black person could become a successful lawyer or doctor does not seem as "ridiculous" as an educated WASP man choosing to be a house-husband.
