lies ITT, starting right ^

this isn't faultless logic, but here's my explanation:

everyone at MIT is really smart
a large proportion of really smart students at American colleges are Indians
a large proportion of Indians stink

ergo, a large proportion of MIT students stink

I heard that Indians are just used as cash cows by graduate schools who can't fill their classes with American students

^^ chinese as well

but they don't have body odor, but my God, they have terrible noxious breath

Sacred cash cows?

^ hahahah

^^^ Bullshit... One of the born and raised in western China guys we have here smells like ASS all the time, both from BO and halitosis.

well they do come with butt loads of lab hours, so yeah, might as well be sacred to their professors

4/14/2010 3:10:31 PM

^^ my point was that just as BO is an almost universal issue among FOB indians, rank breath is an almsot universal issue among FOB chinese.

those are just my observations from contact with hundreds of indians and chinese at grad school.

the worst smelling guy i know of is an iranian who is friends w/ my cubicle-mate. none of the indians or chinese that i work with smell bad.

4/14/2010 3:43:58 PM

don't get me wrong, I know plenty of Indians, and most of them don't stink, actually

and I know plenty of Asians, and most of them don't have halitosis

but in each case, the proportion that DO is much higher than that of the general population

My brother inlaw had to choose between Harvard and MIT for grad school. He picked Harvard because he said the foreign students smelled bad at MIT and they don't speak English as well as the ones at Harvard.
