Iona College Culture: Rude, mean, vindictive and lazy. Very low % of Asian Indians.

UPenn: Ivy League. 25% Asian (another 25% Jewish). Compare this to their combined representation in the U.S. population at 5%.

There is a sig. correlation between education and income

White median income 2001-2003: 47k Asian median income 2001-2003: 55k

Asians have the highest levels of education and income in this country. In this sense, Toral was the perfect stereotype of South Indians.

Highest levels of education and income are attained in big cities, so someone from downstate NY or Georgia isn’t exposed to and doesn’t understand successful American South Indians. People often dislike the unfamiliar. I believe that Rebecca and Toral bonded, because Rebecca went to school with and worked alongside people like Toral.

It might have been as simple as showing up for an open audition. There was an open audition for the recent film by Mira Nair, The Namesake. Of course, considering all the major characters in the film baing named Patel, I would not rule out some sort of connection.

Somebody has to know the real story of why she got kicked out of columbia right?

I will hazard a guess here, perhaps the supporting documents for her admission were found to have been faked (the popular story being she copied a paper, which I find hard to believe, will not result in expulsion in most cases). It happens a lot more than the desi community acknowledges.

FORWARD THIS TO EVERY SOUTH ASIAN AND ANYONE ELSE YOU KNOW:

There are corrupt cops everywhere, even in New York. Especially in downstate NY. In New Rochelle, NY the cops are younger and more corrupt these days. They are biased towards people of color. For example, there’s a local college called Iona College (the butt of jokes amongst northeastern colleges- Culture: Rude, mean, vindictive and lazy. Diversity: No minorities – very few). The NRPD are protecting the criminal activities of Iona College students (especially the white ones), while they reprimand innocent people of color.

Iona College is trying to bring up their reputation by covering up for their students’ misbehavior and antics. If it should be known for anything, it should be for being a party school and nothing more. Iona College Student, (5’8″ Italian-American white male) in New Rochelle, NY (Westchester County) Assaulted a female (5Â’1” Asian Indian) and Got Away With It. New Rochelle Police Department (NRPD) interviewed the Iona College student and believed him and his friend’s story (another Iona college student who later submitted a false witness testimony to the New Rochelle District Attorney‘s office) that the female attacked him and arrested the female 13 days later, who was severely kicked several times, was bleeding and had to go to the hospital, get x-rays and come out with a cast.

She was lucky not to have been internally bleeding resulting from the impact of the severe kicks she had received to the face (which she blocked with her arm) and ALL OVER the body, including her CHEST. Her blood had dripped down as her body had been kicked to the ground, the kicks were so forceful. She had screamed a blood curdling scream nonstop but none of the neighbors had come to her rescue and the attacker’s friends continued to make negative comments about the victim after the student stopped. When she had told the police officers that her blood was on the ground, they didn’t believe her and said that it was the attacker’s blood. It was not. It was the victim’s blood, from being SCRATCHED and kicked several tmes.

There are photographs of the femaleÂ’s injuries. District AttorneyÂ’s office (Jeannine PirroÂ’s New Rochelle office) counter claimed by their own account that she could have “fell down the stairs.“ Any medical examiner/investigator who sees the photos can tell she was kicked numerous times by the Iona College student. When the victim had tried to file charges, the NRPD and District Attorney’s office refused to take her claim. When she had first shown the NRPD officers that she was bleeding, on the night of the attack, one of the officers (white male) who was smirking said, “So, what!” and continued to yell at her after she was attacked, immediately siding with the attacker before questioning her.

Victim is a graduate of a top university and has worked for years. Victim had been receiving prior harassment from attacker. Attacker slandered victim to neighbors (predominantly lower class whites) and police for filing noise complaints against him, and had damaged her home quite a few times. VictimÂ’s car was later vandalized, with the passenger window broken, after her attack. NRPD refused to adhere to victimÂ’s prior complaints of attacker and instead sided with attacker from the beginning because he was an Iona College student and white. NRPD even inquired about victimÂ’s ethnicity with one of the attackerÂ’s roommates during one of her noise complaints. For what reason would the NRPD ask about the victim’s ethnicity over a noise complaint?

Many of the neighbors (predominantly lower class whites and Italian-Americans) who have never met the victim or do not know her, had already made judgement calls and sided with the attacker prior to the attack. The attacker had fueled malicious rumors about the victim to the neighbors. Attacker is a compulsive liar and a great faker. Not a surprising attribute of an Iona college student. But for many years victim’s family had always been scrutinized by white neighbors. Victim’s family is the only Asian Indian family amongst those neighbors.

NRPD is Protecting Criminal Activity of Iona College students. NRPD may be getting paid higher salaries to protect Iona College students from criminal records. NRPD officers also have children who go to Iona College. Some NRPD officers are graduates of Iona College and support Iona students’ misbehavior. Iona College is predominantly white and is not as selective as they claim. Iona College and their college council members are paying off NRPD to protect college’s reputation. Iona College students, despite their high misbehavior and disrespect for the neighborhood, considered “innocent.” Iona College is not considered a very good school and is not one of the top schools, but it is bringing in more money for New Rochelle and is very expensive. Iona college does not have proper housing for their students and pay thousands of dollars to building managements to house their students next to regular tenants. Some tenants are sick and tired of having to live next to noisy, loitering college students. Iona College is paying off thousands of dollars (more than $12,000 each) to several New Rochelle Building Managements to house their students next to regular tenants who have to put up with the noise. But certain neighbors are siding with Iona students, especially ones that are noisy themselves. Iona College students are getting away with speeding, car accidents, loitering, noise, etc., without being reprimanded.

These students are getting off easy for the crimes they commit. Racism involved: People of color are being reprimanded more and ticketed more in New Rochelle by the NRPD. NRPD have a strong bias towards certain groups, especially by race. There are ALOT MORE corrupt stories similar to this one in New Rochelle, happening to others.

Somebody has to know the real story of why she got kicked out of columbia right?

Since the document also references a discontinued case, the motion may have been a motion for discontinuance, which I think means that one of the parties to the case requested the case be dismissed before a judgement was rendered.

I wonder if she sued Columbia for kicking her out, but the folks at Columbia, being a whole lot smarter than she is, had the case thrown out.
