[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=anonymous]Striver is a term on this forum for Asian people. [/quote]

Nonsense. And we are an Asian family. [/quote]
Then look at the reality-these people don’t like you and think you’re ruining “their” institutions. Get your head out of the sand ffs.[/quote]

Totally disagree with that assessment.  Our family are diligent, but we are not strivers.  We are unfailingly polite and kind; we would never push someone else down so that we could advance.  We do not need to crow about our occasional successes - nor do we blame others when we do not succeed.  We are team players.  People here keep explaining it to you, and it has zero to do with ethnicity, but you seem unwilling to hear what they are saying.[/quote]

Fellow Asian American who are diligent and hard working but don’t think we are strivers.

I’m well aware that when people mention strivers, they basically mean Asians.[b] I have never heard anyone in real life say this term[/b].[/quote]

So on what exactly are you basing your assessment of their (these imaginary people you’ve never actually encountered) REAL meaning?[/quote]
