[quote=Anonymous]There’s so much nastiness on this thread. Truly awful assumptions about highly-successful URM, as well as bizarre beliefs that URMs “deserve” to have their achievements questioned for life. You do you, I suppose. But it seems like a cynical and hate-filled way to live. OP - My advice is to tell your DC that they can’t control other people, nor should they bother trying. Encourage them to focus on what they can control - how hard they work, how well they listen and learn, how much empathy and kindness they share, and how well they put their talents to use in this world. There will always be haters. But it’s not your DC’s job to answer to them or even engage their concerns. Work hard, live a good life, and let other people sort out their own BS. [/quote]
