I know everyone's probably bored with all the "race" threads, but I am curious to see how many southeast asians pre-meds there are. I live in Cali and don't know very many. Anyway, just wondering . . .
Asian premeds? NO WAY.

Asian is a big F...ing umbrella of countries in the far east to include chinese, laos, cambodian, vietnamese, japan, thai. my point is to you ignorant people. Asian if you don't already know is not a language. Most docs of asian heritage are chineses and vietnamese. Cambodian, Laos and thai etc, docs combines probably dosen't equal to chinese docs. That being said, chineses and viets are not URM in medicine however, cambodians, laos, etc are. It's very unfair to treat these minority asians as non URM when in actuality they are. Whoever thinks that blacks, hispanic and native american are the only URM are fuc... ignorant, *****s!

You ressurected an old thread to call white people ignorant/racist and to call people from china chineses.
edit- 1:21AM, huh? Drink much?
Oh no, I had never said white people are ignorant. I'm speaking to anyone who thinks that thai, laos, cambodians are not URM when they are. that's all. I'm not racist, I just like equality. Thank you kindly.
You never answered the above question.
1) What is the percentage of Southeast Asians in the US population?
2) What is the percentage of Southeast Asian doctors in the US?
3) Are the percentages significantly different?
Hint: If your answer to number 3 is no, then you don't qualify as a URM. See you answers to numbers 1 and 2 for the explanation.
What's with the attitude, man? I know of programs out there specifically designed to help Hmong premeds in undergrad. Afaik, there aren't equivalent programs for Chinese premeds. Chinese/Indians are way over-represented in medicine. The same cannot be said of Hmong, etc. I totally get the OP's point.
Why did this thread get resurrected?
I'm Thai.

I don't see teh relevance in your questions. The fact is unless you are either thai, laos, hmong, cambodians, you will not understand that they are in fact underrepresented in medicine, despite that the fact they are asian. Chinese,vietnamese, etc represent the bulk of asians who are doctors. that is all im trying to say. if you think otherwise you are ignorant.

Numbers don't have an ethnicity. Either there is a lower percentage of Hmong doctors as Hmong in the general population, or there isn't. That is the only qualification for URM. If the US Hmong/Laotian/That/etc populations are proportionally represented in the medical profession, they are not URM. End of story.
How is this hard to comprehend?
Why are you all surprised, the thing is if you're from any Asian country and are premed in USA chances are you had a privelaged lifestyle because your parents worked hard to bring you here but Hispanic / Black / Native American are more likely to be at a disadvantage. URM is not so you can say hey look im not white its so that committee can be more aware of those from disprivelaged backgrounds.
