Vijay said he shaved off his straight black hair, trimmed his "long Indian eyelashes" and started ticking off "black" box for race on his applications, reported the New York Post.Should other races take advantage of programs meant for a particular group? Consider that we are already giving illegal aliens driver licenses and other benefits.
The Indian-American said it worked like a magic as he started getting interviewed at at Harvard and Columbia and many other universities despite his relatively mediocre 3.1 GPA. (read more)

Good thing he dropped out of med school or else he'd have had to spend the rest of his life taking care of black people.
I sent this story to my Irish/ Italian nephew who could pass for Hispanic and kidded him that he could saved himself a lot of hard work if he had just said he was a minority when he applied to med school [he is in his 2nd year of med school now] and he busted his balls to make Summa Cum laude undergrad and to prepare for the MCAT exams.
And the people who wanted to give Lurch a pass for his Purple Owies are now outraged.
If I'm sick I'd rather see someone who is the brightest of the bright, or at least extremely good at studying and memorizing tons and tons of stuff.
If that means the only doctors I can choose from are Asian or Indian, then that's who I see.
The last thing I want to wonder is if my doctor got to med school because having him in class let the administrators check a box someplace.
That *said*... some of the ways in which medical schools are competitive don't seem to be geared toward getting the best doctors. A person's attitude toward the profession is at least as important as if they were badgering every teacher for every point since their Freshman year of college.
And Mindy steals ice cream.
Dishonesty runs in that family.
I think racial check boxes should become a thing of the past.
People should refuse to answer.
White people have been identifying as "Indians" for years. Jeb Bush clearly identifies as "hispanic."
Race is now all about perception, presentation and politics and not about actual race, so long as you're left. Just ask the "white" hispanics and "uncle toms," who diverge from Korrect Ideology. For that matter, ask the bitches who don't bow down to the concept of the "war on women."
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. If we're going to have a rule, have that rule. Let the rule rise or fall on its own merits. Bonus points for blacks and certain other minorities in admissions should mean just that. Don't let the left muddy the waters and bend it to their own devices for the benefit of their constituents and toadies and fake Indians while leaving everyone else out in the cold. No get out of whiteness (or other unprivileged race) free cards in exchange for ideological fealty.
The only thing this story stands for is the fact that Harvard and Columbia Medical Schools admit blacks with relatively mediocre GPAs.
Jeb Bush checked Hispanic on his voter registration.
"Did you see the episode of her show that was all about anal?"
Haven't seen the show.

Hmmm, maybe not I want to.
