East Asian Male vs. Asian Indian Male

<p>Which one do you think hurts more for college admissions?
I’d say: East Asian Male!</p>

<p>Im Indian So I Better Not Be Hurt!!!</p>

<p>IndianKid is an Indian?
Who would have thought!</p>

<p>i know!!! really!!!</p>

<p>They’re both equally horrible.</p>

<p>East Asian Male. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>O… I’m east Asian Male…</p>

<p>Sadly the E. Asian male, though it probably won’t come down to a choice between the two. Anyway we’re all happy enemies of the AA.</p>

<p>the reason why being Asian can hurt is because of overrepresentation relative to to the general population…the inverse is true for hispanics and african-americans…</p>

<p>in that respect, being east asian probably hurts less than being indian, as Asians as a whole make up 4% of the American population and are typcially 20-25% in the most selective univs. in comparison, Indians are 0.5% of the population (i think there are 1.5m Americans of Indian origin in the US) and make up 3-5% in the same.</p>

<p>Worst possible: East Asian Male who is also Jewish.
There aren’t too many of those though, haha.</p>

<p>nice one kafka89</p>
