i love it when we get group projects because i can do no work and some smart kid always takes over and gets us an A. i usually don't even show up for meetings. i claim that their emails don't get through for some reason, even though everyone else in the group gets them. and if they text me, i am always conveniently at work and unable to make it until the end of the meeting - "if you really need me."
when it comes time to give our presentation, i always introduce the group with a witty joke so that the professor takes note of my contribution, but i take efforts on the group evaluation to downplay the others' work and make it seem as though i had to pull all the load.

I had to read this post twice, because I couldn't believe the words. I hope you were being sarcastic, because this post pissed me off and I lost all respect for you...Thanks for reaffirming my stereotype on team members who claim to be busy but really are not.

I always try and pick Asains to go in my group. They have a strong work ethic, will always get the job done as best they can and because most of them aren't that fluent with English, reading or writing, I get to call the shots.
This isn't racist just the truth.

Oh, but it is racist.
You must not have a lot of exposure to the Asian community - they have higher English literacy rates than white americans.
Furthermore, the behavior is racist and exploitative.
Edit: oh, I'm sorry, you're from Australia. Now I understand. Australians are soooo jingoistic.
(That's not ethnocentric, just the truth.)

I started drinking early, and it's made me a little rowdy.
