wow.
it had to be said.
wow.
I'm sure there are a bunch of white people gunning for the same thing. It's just easier to blame your frustration at a successful minority group, right? 🙄
Again, it's not your place to judge as to why someone wants to go into medicine.
👍 Couldn't have said it better myself. Especially the last part.
Beta people?
Edit: look man, ADCOM should care less about your desire to be surrounded by alphas. What matters is patient care. If they provide better or at least as good care - there is absolutely no problem with it. Until you have concrete proof that these doctors will do worse than the rest, all your arguments will come across slightly self-centered and judgmental.
your parents are good parents, unlike many of the garbage, shameful, disgusting traditionalist asian parents
What's disgusting and shameful about traditional Asian parents?
If we're talking about disgusting, shameful parenting cultures, it's probably the "thug lyfe" ghetto parenting sub-culture (which isn't exclusive to any particular race).
Parody, but still true.
I don't think that's "shameful" and "disgusting", though. Those are strong words. Pushing your kids is a good thing.
it had to be said.
racist and hyperbolic nonsense had to be said?
yeah no.

Lets be honest.... If there is anyone in this thread that has some sort of bias it is you. Yeah, I'm totally spiteful and jealous of these indian premeds... Lol jk dude I couldn't care less. Your assumption that I don't think the same about white people only points to your own racism.
And yes it does impact me since I don't want any beta people who were forced into medicine as classmates, assuming I get in.
So you're saying its ok for people to be forced to be in charge of other people's lives?
Sigh... it's one thing to guide kids and another to control them. Traditionalist families believe in the latter.
How is that even racist? I could generalize to all traditionalist families, but the focus is on that of Asian families. Plus I wasn't even criticizing Asian families, but traditionalist Asian families. There's nothing racist about that. Man, the race card is getting thrown out there for no reason.
Care to justify your defense for traditionalist families? Anyhow, you'll basically say that these families are "guiding" their children by controlling their lives... Wouldn't matter anyhow. Traditionalism for the most part is slowly dying out with the great spread of modernization in the American-born Asian students.
LOL WOW, good thing they have interviews to screen people like you out. I mean, there has to be something wrong with you if you have almost 11,000 posts in less than a year.
What do you even mean by "traditionalist"? Elaborate.
It seems like Agent B has some personal issues with Asian people lol...
What happened, did little Sanjay Patel or Kevin Chen get better grades/internships than you?![]()
Meh. Too lazy to search. The definition's out there and you can base your argument from there (although it'll affect my opinion).
Why would somebody be inherently anti-traditionalist? There are good traditions worth preserving and bad traditions that need to be discarded. New traditions are formed all the time.

There is absolutely no need for this kind of language or generalization.
This is an example of a premed with good inference skills. 🙄 Man, no wonder many other SDNers outside of preallo hate this subforum so much... It's truly unfortunate.
Are you talking about yourself? You're actually the only person on preallo that consistently talks a lot of **** on these forums to get negative reactions out of people. Please, take a break from SDN (god knows you need it) and reevaluate yourself as a person.
Just because you don't like XYZ doesn't mean others don't. I agree with you, I don't like parents that force their children to do something they don't want to, but, there are people who later see it as a benefit to themselves and continue to do it. I can't judge these people because I don't know how their personal lives are and neither should you. No reason to hate on the parents either. It's a different culture than yours. Why don't you go to a country like China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam or Pakistan (and some African countries) and try to raise your kids there with your western parenting. You would think your western parenting techniques of letting your kids do whatever would be best there and that's what many of the immigrant parents think is best for their kids here.
Until you experience both sides of the issue, you have little room to make judgements on these people.

Not that I have much skin in the Asian tiger parenting game, but the above is simply not true. Everyone, you included, on here makes judgments all the time. Most without the slightest bit of real experience on either side.
Maybe because they want to?
Why does everyone assume that every brown person who wants to be a doctor is being pressured into it by their parents? Yes there are a lot of south asian pre-meds, but I know way more south asians who AREN'T premeds.
Lol, who knew Paki was a slur? It's just the first four letters of Pakistan. Oh well.
Also, don't forget about all those "white analogs" of the n-word, that political correctness loves to ignore.
Yes. This.So please stop with these ridiculous stereotypes.
How are both of these threads still open? How did this one survive years?? I'm disappointed in the administration.
