The articles I read on Asians being ‘over represented’ tend to be CA universities (private and pub) rejecting students of Japanese descent.
When my sister worked in an academic setting, she learned to demand that others correctly identify HER ethnicity. They would mutter dismissively ‘well, WHITE’ obviously. She would arch a brow and explain to them that WHITE wasn’t an ethnicity, it was a skin color. She would continue to demand they identify her ethnicity. They would stammer ‘Irish, English or German -they are all the same’. She would frostily tell them that they were insulting her with their ignorance of her proud cultural heritage, with their assumption that there is just one monolithic ‘race’ of ‘white’ people instead of rich diverse cultural identities, and by implying that the culturally respectful correct identification of her ethnicity was not important because how could her ethnicity be less important than theirs....? She suggested archly that they may want to become open minded culturally sensitive global citizens and begin to appreciate cultures that they have overlooked or denigrated and that it was never too late to start. Oh and if asked, she never failed to identify their ethnicity correctly - they had already made sure everyone knew.
That is an awesome approach. Kudos to her.
