Just because Sori is an Asian American, it cannot be concluded that she will excel in her classes, get promoted more quickly or choose a specific major. Stereotyping based on race or ethnicity is not appropriate or accurate. Dr. Allman should evaluate Sori based on her individual abilities and strengths.
