[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, white people are not strivers. It is mainly used for asian gunners. That have immigrant parents that think only USNWR top 20 will do for college. [/quote]
yes, this is how the word is defined on dcum - Asian immigrants who want to go to top schools, and get high paying jobs. How dare they strive for that.

White people who do the same aren't strivey. No. They are allowed to do this without being labeled because.... they are white, and white people should be the ones who control the wealth and status in this country as they always have.  They look down on others who strive to reach the upper echelons.

Rich white people who send their kids to T10 aren't strivey. No. They were just born into it.

Asian immigrants who send their kids to T10 are strivey. They are obvious try hards.  /s[/quote]

So bitter, so wrong.

100% of the kids that my daughter and her friends view as “strivers” are white.

And my daughter is URM and most of her friends are of Indian or Vietnamese heritage.[/quote]
Also, I'm not bitter because I'm not strivey, neither are my kids, and neither are my parents, who are immigrants.

My parents wanted a comfortable middle class life.

I wanted a comfortable UMC life, which I achieved by hard work and going to a regional B rated state school

My kids want the life we have - UMC and comfortable. They are going to large public state flagship.

But, I don't begrudge people for wanting to strive for T10.   Rich, well connected people do it all the time, and no one labels them.  Why label immigrants who have the same goals?  Typically, the word is used against immigrants who are not white.

So, yes, it is classism and racism.[/quote]
