<p>So apparently I read someone’s joke from the Cornell RD Results thread</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So, white males who want to become physics majors are at a disadvantage because there are to many of them?</p>
<p>Are there too many physics majors in general? Or just the “white male physics major”?</p>
<p>See, I’m an asian female who wants to major in physics…</p>
<p>There aren’t really very many physics majors, in my experience. We’re a small, odd bunch. Most people seem to be interested in business for some reason.</p>
<p>I think the joke was that (A) he’s from New York, and that is the state with the most applicants to Cornell (B) he’s a white male, and white males are quite common (C) physics is a semi-popular major, although I don’t think there too many of them.</p>
<p>I could be wrong, but that’s what I perceive the joke to mean.</p>
