A few years ago I got invited to speak at St. John’s university in Queens which I attended. Back when I went it was nearly all white Catholic Catholic kids who commute to the school. I also spoke at Baruch University in NYC which used to be very popular Jewish kids from NYC


My St. John’s lecture had 120 kids attend. 119 Asian kids. I saw one white girl. No other nationality

My Baruch Lecture around 150 kids, one Spanish and two black kids and 147 Asians.

They I spoke at a very low ranked community college in NYC and nearly all black.

No clue there the white people go to college in NY

Asian students are very active with various clubs and activities and also volunteer quite a bit around the campus. They love attending lectures as well.

Maybe. It claims 47 percent white. But only 44 percent of students are men. My classes were like 1/2 white men when I went. Also was Accounting Society. But still quite unusual. And tons of international students. But then again no dorms when I attended

What about an Asian boy who is captain of varsity soccer and class president. It’s my friends son. She thinks he has no chance at Brown. But I think those two roles are unusual for an Asian kid and that he has a very good chance.
