Bleargh, please let me know all the medical schools you are applying to so that I know to withdraw from them. It saddens and sickens me that you are going to be a future doctor catering to all demographics. As a PROUD URM, I fail to find the humor in your post. And shame on you other people for encouraging this nonsense!
 
hahaha bleargh, i LOLed at the title of the thread. when i opened it and saw your post and the baby i couldnt handle it. :laugh: :laugh:

oh, and angel, you're stupid.

Amen!! I was actually really pissed off when I saw this and disgusted that people think this is funny! I'm a URM also and you wouldn't believe the struggles we face DAILY...and you really think we're taking away your med school interviews? If that were the case I and many other URMs would be in med school today. Its just as a hard, and it makes it harder that we have to prove how qualified we are daily!!
 
ya'll never heard of a joke, or sarcasm? bleargh is making fun of all the people who hate on URM's. jeez us.

Lol what? You're proud of your heritage or the fact that your heritage is underrepresented? Either way, chill.

Seeing as the two of you have a combined 19 posts between you, I'm not sure whether to take the outrage seriously. However, to diffuse this now, I think you should learn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire
 
Haha yes. I'm going to follow you around and purposefully apply to only your schools.

The new directive from the Obama administration is to only accept black people at the expense of all republicans. As an Obama youth, that's what I'm doing - just out of spite. Boo ya!

I thought that image was funny BTW.

2 x Fail = :slap: + :smack:
 
Bleargh deserves a medal.

People who are getting offended deserve a beating.

oh, and to further piss off the people who are already upset, i think us Aryans should get URM status too... how's that settle with you? hmmm?

Don't be such a tightwad! I thought it was pretty funny yo.

BTW, for the sense of humor deprived, Bleargh isn't being completely serious.



Side note: Just when I'm about to stop frequenting SDN, Bleargh comes up with pure gold. Lovely.

You know, if you're really a URM you should know that even AFTER med school and you doing your residency you're going to get people thinking either you're a janitor, nurse, or other "non-doctor" professions. So, either you learn how to handle that now or you can get pissed at every single moment that happens and look like an idiot doing it. I've been mistaken for a waiter just cause "I happen to wear the same shirt as them" before and even though I got pissed at that time looking back I kinda find it humorous. People are ******ed and the world is filled by them so chill out and when things happen laugh at it and feel good that you're a doctor and they're not.

Bleargh, awesome picture by the way 👍 pretty ****in hilarious.

In a private conversation with Bleargh he informed me that he applied to every MD and DO medical school in the US.
 
Now that is hilarious.

But it woulda been even more hilarious if you replaced "they" with "we".

You know, I've never gotten this. What, exactly, is there to be proud about being a URM? Did you chose to be or continue being a URM or something? Now before anyone goes full ******, it is very possible to not be proud of something AND not be ashamed of it as well, especially when it comes to a trait that you have no control over.

Cue Chamillionaire "Ridin' dirty..."

We could write a kick-ass song about URM's with that beat and just modify the lyrics for our own purposes. :meanie:

I'm not being facetious, but if you don't mind, could you please list them?

I don't know about other people on this board, but I think that everyone should have to prove themselves by getting good grades and showing a good understanding of the material, not by skin color.


Seriously though, I'm genuinely interested in what "struggles" URMs face on a daily basis that replaces academic achievement and allows them to get into medical schools with lower stats.

Here is my arm chair sociological interpretation of this situation. All minorities face greater challenges than those who are in the majority. When we, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Gays, Bisexuals or whatever say we're "proud" we are not proud of our inherent qualities. We are proud that we have overcome the inherent disadvantages of being a minority in a anglo/christian/heterosexual/male controlled society.
 
^^I am curious too.

The theory is that not everyone had the "privileged upbringing" that us white folk had....therefore they were not as prepared for college as us "privileged white folk," thus getting poorer grades in college as a result of their upbringing wayyyyy before college.

As someone that actually DID have to bust my ass workwise/academically to get into med school after I did poorly in undergrad I dont get it either.....but what can ya do?

You realize that what you just said sounded like this to many people here: "I hate whitey, and I am going to take his med school spot." It's going to be a topic of discussion at the next white pride meeting.
 
haha jesus guys lighten up, i thought my post history clearly shows how i feel about the URM issue and trust me, no 'proud URM' needs to be up in arms against me :laugh:

also, @mmmmmmmmcdowe, that info was supposed to be confidential, now adcoms are gonna know i applied to every school and thus have a lower chance of going to their schools and they will all reject me for that and i totally want 10 interview in between december and january and and and...


PS. for the internet n00bs

lol I am not even in the mood to fight about any of this because I honestly dont care that much. I think the premise behind all of this URM stuff is nonsense...however it exists and I dont care about that because caring and fighting about it wont change anything.

Really? All minorities? Are you going to really say that the Obama daughters don't have it better off than the vast majority of Americans?

White people don't have to feel pride, they already have the power and control of our society. But seriously though, have you ever heard of in groups and out groups? Do you ever wonder why you might feel differently around brown people as apposed to white people? It's pretty simple really, most people from an early age base their in group on what race they are. Have you ever read nurture shock or Colorblind. They might do you some good.

Is the experience of Obama's daughts similar in anyway to the experience of other URMs?
