"minority preferential treatment in admissions"

Nonsense. Maybe true for blacks or hispanics. Not true for Indians, and this article is about Indians and other South Asians. When I was in training, I (an Indian) was treated just like other white persons by the administration whereas hispanics got preferntial treatment in admissions, loans, awards, etc.

Even the FDA does not consider Indians as a separate ethnic minortiy - we are genetically considered as caucasians.

The article is silly. Don't sweat it. Some of the finest docs in Socal, who make millions, are Indians, including some plastic surgeons.

My doctor is from India, and he is more caring and consientious than any "white" doctor I've ever been to. He also doesn't play golf, drink, abuse prescription drugs, chase women, take long frequent vacations, or any of theother extacurricular activities doctors are known for.

Maybe genetically considered caucasian but Indians aren't white. I don't know about how the administration treats Indians but that doesn't stop Indian doctors from calling some of my mother's friends niggers (esp. when they're darker than the doctors!).

Indians are Caucasians -- they are after all members of the Aryan/Indo-European race
