But you know what? We (...Dude...this is funny shit. But you know what? We (in India) crack the same jokes about Indians winning spelling bees. On a more serious note, you'll notice that Indian kids who win spelling bees aren't educated in India. Hell, most of them weren't even BORN here. The fact remains that primary-level education in the US is eons ahead of the standard in India (keeping the country as a whole, not just big cities). So, if you were to take an average 8-year old from India, he wouldn't get very far in a spelling bee. At the end of the day, I feel it all boils down to how competitive you are in these things...<BR/><BR/>As for long names.

They are here for a purpose, to create a better life for themselves and their family.

Whoever rises up whatever color is usually working the hardest. <BR/><BR/>red- I think its about individuals anyway. How your parents raised you , where your born, and your work ethic really controls who is successful and who isn't. Also being born into money helps a lot. <BR/><BR/>huckdoll- lmao at your comment.

You must test and interview to get in. You must take college SAT's after your freshman year at your home school to get in. Yu have to be smart to get in. If you include all 'minorities', 80% of the school enrollment is non-Caucasian. I would have thought that the enrollment would have been more reflective of the actual demographics of the State. But the 'minorities' are far more driven to succeed, apparently, than I had expected. And good for them. Really. Good for them.<BR/><BR/>We 'white folks' have had it good in this country for a long time. Too good. But the day is coming when the positions are going to reverse. And being 'white' is NOT going to mean you have a right to the top. Not that we ever really did have that right. It was something we took, and assumed was ours. I wonder what it's going to be like when 'white folks' have to deal with discrimination and prejudice based on the color (or lack thereof) of one's skin. I wonder.<BR/><BR/>Your post was witty.
