Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dental school student body observation

... a very attractive 1st generation born in the USA Chinese girl.

She's also a dentist.

Her family is a very motivated and successful group of people.

OP, This thread is yet another example of a discussion that would have benefited greatly from photographs.

All these squandered opportunities for our community to communicate and really connect make me sad.

Thank you STX for the little ray of hope.

Our daughter is going in to her 2d year of dental school at OHSU (Oregon Health and Science Univ). We are in Portland now to attend her white coat ceremony. It's when they complete their 1st year of school and now can start working on live patients. They're given a white coat at a ceremony that's done at all medical schools and they make a big deal out of it.

Anyway, there are 74 students in her class. The makeup is what caught my eye. Granted, OR isn't an eastern state with lots of blacks but they do have a good number. Out of 74 students, I counted 17, or 22%, with Oriental or Middle Eastern names. There were several women wearing head scarves. There's no way to tell if they're American or foreign born but I did hear a lot of very foreign accents. There was 1 hispanic name and 1 black person, a woman. She had a large contingent of family with her, support that many blacks don't have. If she got this far, I'm convinced that she'll go a long way.

One final observation: out of 74 students, approx 30 were women. If this class is representative of dental schools, we're going to have a very foxy bunch of dentists in a few years. Almost all of them were very good looking.

70% of black babies are born out of wedlock and most end up on welfare. They don't have the family support that other races have. There are many good strong black families but there are all too many kids who grow up without it.

I appreciate the picture, but knowing lyin' Ted's been there is a deal breaker.

That perfectly describes my niece (Wife's brother's kid). Her wedding was 2 weeks ago.

Engineering has far far more foreign born and asian, perhaps fewer female, but my employer goes out of there way to hire them too....

The numbers aren't any higher for blacks than other races.
