Nonsense.  Internet Lawyers don't make that kind of mistake.

:yes: Not to mention faculty representation.  At the college I'm going to in the fall, 44% of the CSIS faculty are Asian.  In fact, my professor for Systems Analysis & Design is pretty much totally off-the-boat Chinese- even her grad degree was completed in Hong Kong).

At both universities I attended the computer science faculty were nearly all white male nerds and Indian females.  I don't think I ever had an Asian instructor for any of my classes at all.
Indian counts as Asian.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Technically yes, colloquially no.  You're not British.

How can you be nasty to someone who readily admits their mistake?  Seriously, any tips? :unsure:
