Hi Alex,
How are Southeast Asian minorities (e.g. Filipino, Thai, Indonesian) treated relative to Caucasians and East Asian minorities? I feel like they are generally underrepresented in top colleges (they were maybe 1% of my Ivy's population, but I think the US has a higher % of Filipinos alone). However, they still tend to get grouped in with other "Asian" categories.
Are there any stats on this that you know of?

They're not distinguishing it that finely.
The thing with diversity isn't about them actively looking for people around the world (i.e. 'we need to always have a token Filipino-American in the class' anymore than 'we are looking for token Latvian-Americans who will add more diversity compared to Italian-Americans'). The thing is, Americans who are Filipinos may feel they are distinct from Chinese who are distinct from Thais and so forth -- but it's not that different than white Americans of Irish or German or Polish or Greek descent.
Also, I think too many applicants overplay the race issue in admissions -- it doesn't factor in as much as people think. What matters more is your pre-MBA profession, as that's where they do try to more actively manage the diversity in terms of professional backgrounds.
