Pepe le Pew said...: there is nothing new about this - Berkeley did the same ten years ago (and possibly before that). It makes perfect sense: us citizens tend to be more complacent and less competitive than us furners.
You'll soon be doing the jobs that none of us want to do.; 11/09/2008 8:38 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: You mean that competition to be born an Aristo, with a bureau full of silver spoons and a hobbyist's dark-room for late night amusement?; 11/09/2008 12:25 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: well the blue blood/silver spoon/aristo trillionaire royalist thing didn't help in commie berkeley (duh). Fortunately white french people are a minority at Cal: i got in thanks to affirmative action (don't tell anyone though).; 11/09/2008 1:02 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: It didn't hurt, though. After all, there is that secret act of affirmation we cannot discuss.; 11/09/2008 1:09 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Remember, bleu bloods Aristos are just naturals at leading vanguards of revolutions. Much more comfy there than in the prole-train pulled behind.; 11/09/2008 1:10 PM
Mr roT said...: That's the real admissions criterion for Berkeley. For Harvard it is a calculation based on future bread and butter. Never is it good for the good ole US of A and old Gory.; 11/09/2008 4:36 PM

Shoukran Allah.; 11/09/2008 5:05 PM
Mr roT said...: Shoukkkran Allah? What's that? Truth in advertising?; 11/09/2008 5:22 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: He meant, "Suck-tran, Allaho Akhbar"; 11/09/2008 5:26 PM
Tecumseh said...: Did you guys read about Yau in the article, or did you just look at the title? (Trying to get back on track with the subject.); 11/09/2008 5:52 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Yau likes his students to all be Chinese [ever tried to sit in on his Saturday morning seminars?] This offers him a chance to make even his undergraduate classes of a race congenial to his super duper tastes...
... Not that racism from a nonwhite guy has anything wrong with it, of course.; 11/09/2008 6:00 PM
Mr roT said...: Yau? Didn't he try to steal the Poincaré conjecture from Perelman?; 11/09/2008 11:46 PM
