<p>Although I expected a marked overrepresentation of Asians relative to their prevalance nationally, the extent is surprising to me (they are overrepresented by over a factor of 13 by that 60% figure).</p>
<p>It’s true! The stereotype is true: Asians are generally superior in academics. (I’m not glorifying the race. I’m just amazed by this outcome. I expected more whites, but somehow that isn’t the case)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It might be prudent to amend this to “on average” for clarification.</p>
<p>I guess that would be a better term then.</p>
<p>The Asian thing isn’t that shocking tbh.</p>

<p>I would change ‘superior’ to ‘better represented.’ That’s all this list tells us–that they are better represented in the higher echelons of academia. Not that they as a race are better or worse; just better represented.</p>
<p>Why is <em>Anonymous</em> on the list three times?</p>
<p>^^Fine, fine. I change my statement (maybe I should be conscious of what I say). </p>
<p>It’s true! The stereotype is true: Asians, on average, are better represented in academics.</p>
<p>Yay for political correctness???</p>
<p>^^^Ilikeyou</p>
<p>^ Okay… lol. But what does he have to do with that?</p>
<p>^^^i think the statement is more neutral than the first statement I made.</p>
<p>Lol there were people who didn’t want to be named, but I still included them anyways.</p>

^■■■■■, this is so disproportionate.</p>
<p>It’s kinda proportionate taking into account global population.</p>
<p>Percent of Global Population. 2008.
Africans 14.5%
Asians 60%
European 11%
Latin American 9%
North American 5%</p>
<p>It matches up REALLY well with our CC percentages LOL. surprisingly well…</p>
<p>^hahaha, i guess you’re right. that is pretty cool : P</p>
<p>Oh yeah… I hadn’t thought of that. There are over 1 billion people in China alone… and India has another billion. :P</p>
<p>…that’s so weird.</p>

<p>This is actually really amazing! haha. CC reflects world population. Perfect!</p>
