<p>Cheme12, may I ask why it is sad that 25% of MIT’s student body is Asian when only 5% of the American population is Asian? May I also ask why it is sad that 50% of the Asian students at MIT are female?
I don’t see the problem with that either. Any student body deviating significantly from a 50/50 balance would be considered sexist. </p>
<p>In addition, you claim that maybe 2/112 Asian males at MIT come from the midwest. That is 1.8%; According to U.S. Census data, approximately 12% of Americans identifying themselves as Asian live in the midwest. Therefore, let us assume that 13 of the 112 Asian male students at MIT are from the midwest. 13/1122 Is slightly over 1% of MIT students. Considering that 0.7% of America are Asians living in the midwest, that is still better than the national average.</p>
