a few questions ive been pondering for the past few hours:

- how did the whole korean/american deli owner idea get started?  what possessed early koreans to open delis?
- how did koreans start the whole 'dry cleaner owner' stereotype?  why not something else?
- why are 90% of all dunkin donuts owned by indian people?
- in nyc, why are a vast majority of the carry out mexican places owned/run by chinese people? (what we affectionally refer to as 'chexican food')
- why do 99.9% of indian people have facial hair? (mustache, beard, etc.)
- how come some indians people have indian accents when they speak english, while some sound like they were born here with no accent, even if they werent?
- why do japanese people have such crazy hair and thick legs and jacked up feet?

I once heard that Koreans either start delis or churches, Chinese restaurants or laundrymats, and Japanese World Wars.  Just kidding.

Interest in what areas of law would make you stand out as an applicant?

I'm interested in international law.  Would this make it stand out as a candidate?  What other areas of law are people selling themselves with?
