Brother of Famous Actress Admits He Faked Being Black to Get Into Med School — and It Worked!

In 1998, Vijay Chokal-Ingam was “determined to become a doctor,” but his 3.1 GPA significantly reduced his chances. When he realized his application wouldn’t cut it, he came up with a back-up plan — he pretended to be black.

Chokal-Ingam, brother of famous actress Mindy Kaling, said he “knew that admission standards for certain minorities under affirmative action were, let’s say… less stringent.”

In a blog post, Chokal-Ingam explains how he ended up getting into the St. Louis University School of Medicine despite his low GPA and MCAT score:

So, I shaved my head, trimmed my long Indian eyelashes, and applied to medical school as a black man. My change in appearance was so startling that my own fraternity brother didn’t recognize me at first.  I even joined the Organization of Black Students and started using my embarrassing middle name that I had hidden from all of my friends since I was a 9 years old.

Vijay the Indian-American frat boy become Jojo the African American Affirmative Action applicant to medical school.

Well, that certainly explains Obamatard.

Hey, he's The Smartest Guy In The Room!

Well, the bathroom, and only when he's alone, and only after he flushes the toilet...

I’ve seen her on a commercial, lately. It’s indicative of something that I remember her, the fact that she was somehow invisible, but have no idea what was being sold.

She was a second tier cast member on a famous sitcom. This does not necessarily mean that she herself is a “famous actress”

Well, she's "reasonably attractive".

But I'm like you, I cannot recall what she was selling.

"Hey, he's The Smartest Guy In The Room!"

Ever notice that the more retarded they are, the smarter they claim to be?

I don't think it's a coincidence that Luminosity is such a hit with Democrats. (Funny that IQ is culturally biased, but somehow, "brain exercise" is a valid concept.)

Obama got into Columbia and Harvard by claiming he was from Kenya. He continued to claim he was from Kenya until he decided to run for President.

Now you know how Obama got into Occidental, Columbia and Harvard. There is a reason he would never release his transcripts.

She looks like the Indian actress in some commercial who claims to be invisible.

That was a big bestseller back in the sixties. I read the book by John Howard Griffin. Griffin, a white man, did some sort of thing with his skin to look black and traveled around the south writing down his experiences as a "black" man.

I had a prof. at my college (now dead) who met and talked to Griffin after his experience when he, Griffin, did a book tour. My prof. thought he was weird, maybe a bit tetched.

“Hello, this is Phil from Microsoft’s Technical Department calling about your Windows product.”

Hah...I got that call a few weeks ago...

I played dumb and told the guy I would allow him access to my PC to fix my problem...

It took him about 20 minutes to figure out he was the one getting scammed...after about the 5th time I managed to screw him up getting access...he figured out I was jerking him around...

I keep telling him the computer would just shut down mysteriously just before he thought he would get access..."wait I need to reboot"..LOL

Everytime there is an incentive, a new program, we all try to JINX or circumvent, GAMING the SYSTEM, being able to break the code and rules. Gov’t still hasn’t learned.

Low admission standards. And low performance standards.

This is why you should never use a black doctor. But everyone already knows this.

Pipe him into a live Linux CD on a diskless workstation spare computer, with no admin rights. “Hey man, it’s what I use”!
