The Long March from China to the Ivies

I remember that somebody did an experiment.  Mail the exact same resume to US employers, but with names from different ethnicities.  The ones with Chinese names got the worst response

anyway, back on topic re: whether homegrown chinese students are cool

In my vast experience of one sample, no.  Met a Chinese dude in university.  Laziest motherfucker I've ever met in my life.

My hunch is that names like Tyrone and Shaniqua were not in the experiment.
