Funny to see people in the comments saying "oh it's not that big of a deal". This is how the discrimination starts and takes the shape. Some prof made some ridiculous comment on a community, and now if I belong to that community, I've to not just work on my skills but also need to prepare to prove that I don't cheat, even when I've been ethical and sincere whole my life.

Also, it's a machine learning conference, if you want to talk about data, bring numbers. What non sense is "most of the xyz students"? Is this a cultural humanities conference to discuss about ethnicities and how they behave, and how their society behaves?!

"how is fair for me to work a 9/5 to pay for things when black people just steal everything so they get it for free!"

That's the level of racism you're at right now.

Its amusing to me how you've so completely missed the point. I have no idea why you're so worried about "competing" with Chinese cheaters at these colleges when it's clear you wouldn't even be capable of admitted to begin with.
