"Minorities" in Society, SAY WHAT????!?!? RANT

WARNING:::

This started as a post about an RIT Women in Engineering Article and turned into a rant about how minorities and people want to represent themselves and lift up oppression and what not. I think its perspective is basically what I'm saying, I am equal I do not see my self as anything else.

Because I go to to a predominately Tech/Engineering School I forget that not everyone is all sciency/mathy.

Most of my friends through out my life have been girls, and I've always been somewhat girly but a geek at heart.

Now in college I have way more guy friends and have way more guys than girls In my classes. I have never looked at my self as different or beneath anyone else.

I went to Catholic School and High school in the suburbs so basically have always been surrounded by white people. Yet I did not feel the need to associate myself with only Hispanic people, or talk with a "g" accent and dress all miss ghetto fab.

Yes I did not fit in when I lived in the city and was called "white girl", which I did not understand I am TAN PEOPLE, kinda caramely colored.

Our society labels everything as acting "White" &"Black" ect. , where Hispanic people are expected to act all miss.ghettofab & whatnot I am sorry but that is not me.

I'm just fab & broke but I'm not gonna be acting like another stereotype..maybe just joke about it

RANT

Yes I speak like I am an educated person, yes I speak english damn it! Don't try to speak Spanish to me you ignorant non-Hispanic person!

[[Exception roomie Emily but she's not ignorant and actually knows how to speak Spanish, the honorary Hispanic **]]

No, I'm not gonna give you a discount because you tan, I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!

....And NO I AM NOT DOMINICAN/PUERTO RICAN for the millionth & one time!!!

NO I don't extra money because I am a double minority in my field, I get more financial aid because I is very broke and am attempting to get a quality education regardless!

(parents are pastors nonsense, basically work as nonprofit, do the math)

& NO I am not bad at English/grammar because I am hispanic, I is bad at English because I like math and science, duh!

(also I talk exactly as I speak, I am hearing my voice in my head as I write or vice versa, damn it i confused myself again)

Not gonna lie, I tried to fit in when I lived in Queens, NY had my big hoop earrings and faux diamond name belt when I wasn't wearing my catholic school girl uniform. Moved to suburbs & made my own identitity did not conform to the A&F and Hollister (yea people it looks exactly the same because its UNCREATIVE)

I totally get this whole trying to represent minorities in more fields

I think the problem is not rooted in because "Oh we is minorities" nonsense, People have conformed.

It's like that thing they tell you in psych, minorities will not do as good on standardized test because it is statistic and it is now expected.

We have CONFORMED to societies expectations instead of placing expectations on ourselves and placing Goals for our lives.

STOP giving your fellow minorities a bad name and poor stats, just because statitics say that there are few minorities in college doesn't mean it's OKAY for you not to go.

Goals+Education=Career=Money$=advancing society and economy for the better

Its simple. [[explained in words & math I'm good]]
