[quote=Anonymous]I'm a URM from a first gen and low-income college family. I definitely had to be way better than everyone else to be considered as good as the white kids. If white people weren't so damn racist and didn't assume we aren't as smart and talented as they are (we're often even smarter and more talented) this wouldn't be an issue. I always just laugh to myself when white people underestimate me and I then leave them in the dust. That's what they get for thinking I don't deserve the degrees I earned from top schools. You know who really needs to practice some self-doubt? White guys who get thrown into the smart people pool just because other people are lazy and don't vet them properly. [/quote]
