In a giant bitchslap to the faces of Asian mothers everywhere, Joan Fang '11 writes in an article that she decided to decline her spot at the Asian Math Dynasty (aka, MIT) to go to Harvard, in order to seem more "well-rounded."

"If I went to MIT," she laments, "I could have stood out in their English department and made myself different from everyone else." If I had gone to MIT, you mean? What kind of English major are you?

And in the first place, that's not saying very much -- anyone silly enough to study English at MIT is going to stand out by default, and anyway, English majors, unlike the rest of the MIT student body, take showers. Race has little to do with it.

Honey, it's not the school that makes the Asian; it's the Asian that makes the Asian, and I suspect that this article makes you seem geekier than if you had just gone to MIT.
