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.”

"Iff'n I had a son, he too would cheat on his college application, just like JoJo."

-- Barack Obama


Clearly, someone with a 3.1 GPA --- especially in this era of grade inflation for high school kids --- isn't worthy of medical school. He should just be thankful the Indian Mafia didn't kill him for bringing disgrace to his family with that GPA.

I like how white males get mad at Affirmative Action when it was the discriminatory practices against miniorties and women that was the reason for the creation of AA.

How else would AA come about to benefit women and minorities?

Sometimes those facts can hurt.

Also, nothing I said was racist. Try again.

People get seriously angry about being the victims of racial discrimination.

In my viewpoint and that of many other people, yes it was, and if you say stuff like this in person you should be aware that a large number of the people around you think you are a racist (or at best are expressing racist views in the instance) but keep their mouths shut because it's in person and it's easier not to rock the boat.

As Afrocentrists love to remind everyone, we are ALL ultimately from Africa, so this man is not lying, and neither is any white, Hispanic, Asian or other ethnicity that claims to be African.

God bless him and I hope others follow suit. He has as much right to that 450 point SAT curve as anyone.
