Ms. Liao, I read the details of your case very carefully. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill! You simply cannot bully your way into a Ph D program! You were looking for slights where none existed. I suggest you stop being so hyper-sensitive...it indicates to me that you are ashamed of being Chinese!

So, instead of using the "racist" card, you really should have stuck to the academic arguments and persisted with those. You have learned, just as many other *students* of any race involved in higher learning, that when it comes to challenging a professor's own work, you will always find yourself at the losing end! They don't want to hear your criticisms! Those differences of opinion can wait until you become a professor yourself! Is it fair? Maybe...maybe not...but *egos* are involved. It's not the Chinese person, but the lowly *student* who was "persecuted." They treated you like a child who disobeyed "authority!"

I had a similar experience as yours. My supported and backed up opinions in literature strayed too far from my own professor's views. I, too, ended up with poor marks *until* I began parroting the professor! Once I figured out her views, I played up to them and got super marks on my essays and my tests! LOL...

That experience, however, left me very much disenchanted with this whole notion of "higher learning"....*deeper thinking* is not required, nor wanted! Original ideas leave professors befuddled. Write what they want to hear, get the marks you need and be done with it. Then, once you've become a professor, you can do as other professors have done...

Take care,
