Yes, relative to multiple ethnic groups. Most would agree that Indonesians and S. Koreans are more likely to be alike than say Indonesians and Bolivians.
Is exposing students to other ethnic groups what colleges are for?
Yes, in part, if one accepts the premise that one of colleges' roles is to prepare one for the real work world. I suppose there are multiple viewpoints on what college "should" be, but that's rather subjective. I suspect a majority of parents would agree with my stated premise.

That's an unfair blow, Microsoft greatly improved their security so that it's up to "average" now. (Either that, everyone else got more sucky, can't tell.)
Maybe I'm naive, but a typical "supercomputer" these days mostly just connects up bunches of servers (or "servlets") via a central cluster manager or cluster tree. The "size" of the super-computer is then roughly the total number of CPU's (or maybe total instructions per second for the entire shebang).
Thus, if you want to make a "numeric" world's record, you just get ship-loads of servers and hook them up to the cluster manager tree. It's mostly a quantity pissing match roughly comparable to having the tallest building.
Commercial endeavors typically want a return on investment in as few years as possible, or else a really big return. Nuclear power gives neither. That doesn't mean it's not "worth it", it just means it doesn't fit our current business system.
But, being surrounded by a narrow ethnic set in college is NOT going to help you relate to the real world. I'm not bashing Asians, just saying that the work world is largely a social endeavor (except for narrow specialties), and without exposure to more ethnic groups, you'd be at a disadvantage.
"We have a labor market characterized by churning -- continual job creation and destruction...The challenge is to make the transition as smooth as possible."
Those displaced by new technologies on average do not recover back to the level they were. They take an economic hit. Similar applies to offshored careers.
Therefore, just because new jobs are created by new technologies or offshoring, that does not mean people don't suffer.
You are whacking one group to benefit another. Imaging robbing $1000 from 100 people each, but giving a different group of 100 people $1200 each. There first 100 are not going to be happy just because the average benefits to the aggregate population have increased. They'll tell you to stick your averages where your aggregates don't shine.
He hates China then he loves China then he hates Kim J. U. then he loves Kim then he's against gun background checks then he's for it then he's against it again...
About 15 years ago I spotted an extrapolated trend chart that predicted solar's energy-per-dollar-spent ratio would surpass petroleum in roughly a decade.
So, I decided to invest in solar. Sure enough, solar boomed, BUT the stocks I picked soured because the solar industry largely shifted to China. (China was later sanctioned for cheating.)
By that view, the DMCA and other abused "piracy" laws makes USA a non-democracy. Then again, plutocrats pushed it, making us at least partially a plutocracy instead of democracy.
Not enough voters care to make it an issue: they are too focused on Guns, God, and Gays such that plutocrats pretty much control the little corner issues.

Damn good thing we don't have a President like that.

It might not help ones condition, but sure is fun to watch.

Maybe because the big co's are all trying to do the same such that the pool of diversity candidates has shrank.

The Google Translator called, it wants its translation back. Recall.
Now I get 1,000 channels I don't want for $109.95 instead of 500 I don't want for $99.95. WhattaBaghin!

In my observation, his ego drives him more than personal profits. Although, it's hard to really say with that guy.
On slashdot? You new here?

Sigh. Right church, wrong pew.
If we can google slashdot, maybe we can slashdot google.

Is it just me, or is there somebody odd about the /. headline? Is Sweden a Siamese twin?
