[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a whole spectrum of Asian applicant which includes, rich and poor, south and east, local and international, academics and athletes, artists and performers, high stats and low stats, extroverts and introverts, first generation and 4th gen, liberal and orthodox, religious and atheists, straight and gay, sheltered and stray, etc etc. Painting them all with one broad brush and is discrimination and racism.[/quote] I agree with this. A pet peeve of mine is the Asian stereotypes about athletics. As a former national track athlete, I always tell people to look at the Japanese national track records (just as an example). The 400m record, for example, is 44.7 - blindingly fast - not top 10 all time but really fast. Their pole vault record is 19"1!! I could go on, but the stereotypes are both aggravating and wrong.
