<p>ur upset about being a white girl...umm try being an indian male trying to get into a good college..</p>

6

<p>indian male has a greater chance than a white girl. Asian male, on the other hand, doesn't.</p>

7

<p>Indians (from India) are just as "overrepresented" in the top colleges as most East Asians are.</p>

8

<p>being indian male is a negative...being an asian of any kind is negative, its unfortunate since that sterotype of us "all" being smart is not as prevalent today as it was in previous years, but o well, what can you do? haha..not to be racist or anything but the way i see it is...if ur indian/asian u get a -1 on ur app "score"...if ur white u get a zero since there is no "quota" for you and you are most likely the majority...and if you are black/hispanic its a +1. hopefully none of you find this offensive..ive had ppl yell at me for saying that, but its just an opinion.</p>

<p>Ok, but originally the female caucasion thing was referring to the population in Human Ecology. This school is made up of almost all females, and mostly white. So in that school, a male indian, or a male of any race, would be a positive.</p>

<p>my bad...that changes everythign, haha..i wasnt aware of the high female(white) population.</p>
