"Indian man faked being Black to get into med school (swipe)"


          

got in and still dropped out. Now he is writing a book shitting on affirmative action.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/04/03/brother-of-famous-actress-makes-huge-admission-about-his-medical-school-application-affirmative-action/



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.

Chokal-Ingam ended up dropping out of medical school.

He has since become an activist against affirmative action. He is also apparently in the process of writing a book, titled, “Almost Black – The True Story Of An Indian American Who Got Into Medical School Pretending To Be An African American.”

They do. They just had enough Indian candidates that were admitted.
Apr 06th 2015

Naw you are describing quotas. Indians and Asians usually don't benefit
Apr 06th 2015
8
      Based on how the situation here was described, it was because of quotas
Apr 06th 2015
15
           Asians/Indians are not considered minorities in science or medicine
Apr 06th 2015
16
           No program will say that they have "quotas".
Apr 06th 2015
21
                Affirmative action "quotas" are mostly for government jobs
Apr 06th 2015

Sun is truly wildin'!

In my nuanced POV, he is a little right and mostly wrong.

Apr 06th 2015

           Yeah I don't see the relationship with AAs passing and Indian folks
Apr 06th 2015
24
                Well you must have missed his point
Apr 06th 2015

                                         yeah.. I think you need to sit this one out

Apr 06th 2015

                                                                  and you are being stupid and using poorly phrased sentences
Apr 06th 2015

                                                                       Name calling when all else fails.
Apr 06th 2015

                                                                            just following your example and lead
Apr 06th 2015
85
                                                                                 Yeah, but it's wrong when you do it
Apr 06th 2015

                                                             Here is how basic logic works.
Apr 06th 2015
74
                                                                  You are trying to act brand new and absolute.
Apr 06th 2015
79
                                                                       You are responding irrationally and incoherently. Peace out.
Apr 06th 2015

Apr 06th 2015

Other articles say he applied as Jojo
Apr 06th 2015

Of course she is.
Apr 06th 2015

Is she really a republican? I've found her silence on racial politics
Apr 06th 2015
