<p>ok, as irrelevant as this may sound, just out of curiosity, has Cornell ever had a minority class president, or Student-Government president?</p>

<p>I’m actually white, but I just had a quick debate with my asian friend, who thinks minorities never make it into president positions.</p>

<p>so, im wondering about the types of class/student government presidents that cornell has had. i understand the Class of 2007 president was black? What about asians?</p>

<p>Well I’m sure there have been minorities in those types of positions at least at other schools (I don’t know enough to say about Cornell) and in companies, etc. But I don’t believe that our country is ready for a minority president any time soon. Or a gay one, or a female one.</p>

<p>“who thinks minorities never make it into president positions.”</p>

<p>nonsense, the President of every minority group on campus is a minority. </p>

<p>I typed in “student class president” at the Cornell website and the first person that popped up was from 2004 - judging by appearance, she seemed to be a “minority”. She was asian, the current one is black. To say minorities “never make it into president positions” is just running on misinformation (or more likely no information), or is likely a person looking for sympathy.</p>

<p>Since there are more people in China than anywhere else, I don’t think he is a “Minority” in Global Terms. :)</p>

<p>One of the first Cornell Student Trustees back in the 1970’s was Gordon G Chang.

<p>wasn’t the President of the Student Body Council Black, Kwame Something.
Yea Cornell has had a few minority leaders. The president of the smaller business fraternity is Asian, and remember Asian is also a minority in Cornell and this country. And I believe that’s a big step for Asians, they don’t get much recognition in this country.</p>
