Yes. You are right. I have to admit. There. That makes me feel better. I might as well go ahead and tell you we have a secret handshake, dance, knock, and most of all …a secret cheer we sing when we get together to discriminate against Asian applicants at Top Colleges and Research Universities when they are obviously the most qualified .</p>

<p>We’re mostly Christian. We’re mostly white.
To keep our status up there, we fight!Fight!FIGHT!
Black kids, brown kids and even the Jews
are tolerated in our rainbow,
JUST NOT YOUSE!!</p>

<p>We’re the Little 3 . We’re the Ivy set .
We’re so cool GLBT’s don’t make us sweat.<br>
Black kids, brown kids and even the Jews
are tolerated in our rainbow,
JUST NOT YOUSE!!</p>

<p>Fear of Congress makes us take some Pells
But Asians you can go to Hell.
Black kids, brown kids and even the Jews
are tolerated in our rainbow,
JUST NOT YOUSE!!</p>

<p>I think I speak for 11 to 12% of the posters on this board when I say thank you for making that same argument we’ve heard so many times. It was hearing it for the fiftieth time that finally pierced my heart. Touche’.

<p>Curmudgeon, if there isn’t a rule about posts like this, there should be. Don’t you know how damaging SPEW is to keyboards?</p>

<p>Bless your heart, that was wonderful.</p>

<p>"Yes, I was in fact the smart…uhh…aleck in high school? Why do you ask? "</p>

<p>I would NEVER believe such a thing of you.</p>

<p>@Supermom: Perhaps it’s just because I’m a high schooler, but it seems an inordinate amount of people like to argue over the internet, but probably wouldn’t be so pugilistic in person.</p>

<p>We may be 11 to 12% of the posters, but we are only 2% of the population. So obviously we are overrepresented here, some of us ought to stop posting. It’s not fair! ;)</p>
