Model Minority blah blah...

Awesome - especially because my law firm has been given the nickname "Tea House on Lexington" due to the high number of Asians.
The report also said that more Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders were enrolled in community colleges than in either public or private four-year colleges. But the idea that Asian-American “model minority” students are edging out all others is so ubiquitous that quips like “U.C.L.A. really stands for United Caucasians Lost Among Asians” or “M.I.T. means Made in Taiwan” have become common, the report said.
I thought I might as well post a link to an article about the recent report debunking a prevalent idea, namely that:
Asian-Americans [are] a homogeneous group of high achievers taking over the campuses of the nation’s most selective colleges....
That's all. Back to bar review....

Edit: I like this commercial. Cute kid.
