chaeymaey said:No, they're not. But if you feel that there is a large underserved Vietnamese population in your hometown that you'd like to serve, I think you could bring that up in your app/interview.

haha, all asians are the same..............gerido said:No, Vietnamese are asians.. and we all know all asians are the same . In any case, rely on yourself to get in, don't take advantage of a system that is set up to help people/group who needs it.

oh hell no, all asians do not look the same, you have the ones that tend to be more attractive, which tends to be a certain few types of asians, and then you have those asians that steal cars and are too lazy to work and live off of welfare ( nothings wrong with welfare, but when you are on it just becfause you are lazy, thats bs). well all im trying to say is that viets, chinese, japanese, koreans tend to be much different and look much different than hmongs, cambodians and loas, just to name a few. its all good though. diversity is okxadmin said:What's so funny?

sweet!!, when did this start to be the case?liverotcod said:Underrepresented minority is no longer defined by specific ethnic groups. So it's possible that a Vietnamese applicant might be considered underrepresented.
tigress said:I love the part in Mountains Beyond Mountains when Paul Farmer recounts how the Haitians call white people "blan", and one time he had an African American medical student working in his clinic in Haiti, who then went home, and a bit later a different African American student came, and the Haitians thought he was the same guy. And when Paul Farmer asked them about it, they said, "all you blan look the same!"
Goes to show you how much of race is really culture. Funny story.

why did you quote me?nicholonious said:Are you sure about this statement about URM? Is there some evidence to back this up? If so, you're saying that white (or caucasian if you must) categorizes as a URM.

Wonder if American students would be URM's in Vietnam?
