<p>Duke is already pretty damn diverse… 42% students “of color”</p>

<p>Wait, don’t afghani americans count as asian americans? That would put you at a SERIOUS disadvantage.</p>

7

<p>No, I believe Afghani Americans are considered Middle Eastern and actually fall under the caucasian category. No advantage or disadvantage in my opinion.</p>

<p>what about pakistani americans?</p>
