I’m Asian and grew up dirt poor. It’s annoying af when people think of me as some math genius or whatever with parents who are doctors (they’re not.. far from it). I had no choice but to do my best because as a kid I remember no running water and no electricity before we moved to the USA and lived in small apartment with bugs. My parents English is terrible and I saw them suffer here by not being able to afford visiting their family back home. My dad moved here and never went back, could only afford to send my mom a couple times and me once. I’m glad we are doing better today.

I find a lot of these DEI policies to be very generalizing and uncomfortable to be completely honest.
