Ok, a bit of a touchy question, as a black kid, a smart, black kid, do I risk being a token? I really, really hate being introduce to visiting pols.

There will always be some people with hidden bigotry, and some that are blatant. My second year at Duke (in 1967) I took an engineering course from a professor that flunked four students in his class: all three girls and the one long haired yankee. You may also find more bias from rich kids against poor kids than based on color.
But you need to define who you are.

Well, one of the girl ones would likely be a popular choice ... (boys tend towards practical jokes, yes?)
Not one associated with sports would be my choice, but then I am a bit of a outsider, few friend type person.
Enjoy.
