the reply plus the original letter together has been forwarded so many times throughout the system now… It’s probably going to be one of those Princeton legends soon.

Why stereotype asian girls like that? How many asian girls do you know do this? You forget the blondes.

nobody said sending the letter was something an asian girl would do. people commented on the odd diction, grammar and punctuation as seeming asian (i.e. not asian-american). most assumed it was a woman (or girl, if you prefer) because the professor is male.

maybe you didn’t notice these oddities – since only the first sentence of your post is grammatically correct.

the observation/comment from @anon87 is hilarious!

i saw the original, the sender was an asian male

the professor is wearing a wedding ring in that picture too… smart kid.

Having attended a Uwe Reinhardt talk or three, I can attest to his total charisma and gender-crossing appeal. After one Capitol Hill session, we waited around in the adoring throngs and got him to sign our Health Affairs…if we’d had the blind courage of a Princeton freshman, maybe we would’ve asked him to a meal, *like*, a date, too.

That wedding ring doesn’t necessarily mean anything ;)

To Aaron Schneider:
I’m in econ100 with you and a fellow 09′er, and while I’ve heard from lots of people that they thought your email was “totally hilarious”, I didn’t crack a smile once when I read it. You obviously spent a lame amount of time on it, just to publicly humiliate a freshman that in all likelihood, is lacking in social skills and the way we do things here in the US. It’s ironic that you accuse that boy of being toolish, when you response had to be the most toolish, douche-baggy thing I’ve ever read. Seriously though, it was really lame.

defintely was a douche thing to reply to the email and try to humiliate him as if it wasn’t already embarrassing enough

Dear Professor,

Do you want to be my boyfriend?

Yes No

Love, Savannah

You should have politely rejected the student instead of publishing his/her email on the internet. It is unprofessional and frankly cruel. As anyone who’s ever been infatuated knows, a person is not always rational when under the influence of such emotions. The individual may otherwise be an intelligent and respect worthy individual.

Aaron,

“ignore the fact that the supply curve in this model will not be strictly linear; since after a point, more toolishness will have a detrimental effect on Prof. Reinhardt’s supply of time.”

“Strictly linear” should be replaced by “strictly increasing.”

These ppl aren’t really being racist; I am in this class and I also have another class with this kid and he really IS an Asian int’l student.

I found your site while searching the web for information on social skills.Even though what you write about is a littledifferent from exactly what I was searching for, I enjoyed reading your post. Would it be alright with you if I use a part of your writing and link back to your site?
