Who else finds these threads annoying?

skiz knot said:To draw more attention to the stupidity of these types of threads. I find it somewhat unfortunate that people feel such a strong urge to seek out others "just like them." (Often) these are the same cliquey types who will only hang out with those of the same ethnic background, eliminating the benefits of a diverse atmosphere. I am not saying that you shouldn't be proud of your heritage, but are people looking for assurance that desis, pakis, black females, hicks, whatever... are making it into medical school? These people aren't even searching for people going to the same school as them!

Why don't you take interest in other cultures. As a minority, we always do and sometimes get rebuked. I am no pacifist. I'd love to fight.

I actually find the cultural specific threads informative! However, most minorities already have TONS of info about white male protestants or can easily find it in ANY US history book.

It is rough in here. It's as if I am talking to a wall when I try to explain both the positive and negative aspects.
Oh well, I will go somewhere else for Medical School.
Yellow Snow said:Is this whole "White Male Protestant" an east coast thing?....I've been around for 25+ years but I am not sure I have ever met a White Male Protestant. There aren't many protestants in Eugene, OR.
I understand the cultural tendencies that the term is trying to highlight. The term just conjures up images of fancy private school boys from Dead Poet's Society, a group that I imagine is very small in number?

Brickhouse said:Yeah this thread is ******ed -
That sounds like a great idea, and I'd probably love it - but I'm not saying I'm a gothic queen (i.e. gay man) - I'm saying they're my type of people - which is pathetic, because I'm a nondescript white girl - I just happen to relate to gay men who listen to the Pixies and wear black eyeliner better than other subcultures - which is also probably why I'm still single. If I had to do high school over again, I woulda done it goth.
