The easiest and most fun major at your college will be the one that all the scholarship football players are in.

a double major in worthlessness and futility.

The easiest majors are generally the ones that are jam packed with the URMs at my school. These majors include ethnic studies, african-american studies, chicano-studies, and sociology. It's almost sad in a way...these people got INTO this school partially because they were of a particular minority..then they choose to major in the easiest, BS majors because they know they'll just fail out if they choose a major in engineering, physical sciences, biological sciences, etc.
One of the chicano studies major I know even TOLD me this to explain why URMs are virtually ABSENT from all engineering and science courses on this campus. In my upper division biology classes, practically 100% of the students come from 3 major demographics: white, asian (including East Indian), and Middle Eastern. I have yet to be in a single lab in chemistry or biology that has a SINGLE URM in it (URM=african american or hispanic american). There was one URM in my general chemistry lab back in freshman year..and she promptly dropped the course right after the first midterm...so I'm assuming that she just got a 100% on the midterm (the mean for that midterm was a 71 I think) and didn't want the rest of us to feel bad when we found out her score..so she dropped 🙄 🙄
All of the football players are also stuffed into the aformentioned basketweaving majors (ethnic studies, african-american studies, etc). I don't want this thread to degenerate into an AA debate...but I'm wondering why they would squander the wonderful opportunity they've been given (yes...the university gave them the opportunity..for the rest of us non-URMs..we had to EARN said opportunity) to study something as worthless and pointless as ethnic studies.
