I really don't think it's a "racist" thing. I think it's more of a space thing. The majority of the people in my class are from Indiana. Purdue tends to offer the program to Indiana people, then people from other states, and then people from other countries. Due to the limited space it usually doesn't get to the people from other countries. I heard in my class that they had over 400 applicants for 70 spots. So it is very competitive. I'm sorry if I, gave Purdue a bad name by that statement, but that's how they do it, like it or not. Your best bet would be to apply to a bigger aviation university.
