Less than 5% of college students attend a top 50 college. About 2.4% of college students in the US attend a top 30 college. Roughly 1% attend a "top 20" college. What is the point in fighting to be such a tiny fraction of college students.



Because strivers just can’t help themselves. Striving is all that they know.


What is a striver?


It's a racist term used by a lower socio-economic class person to denigrate asian students.


I believe that it is more often used by high socio-economic people to describe desperate Asians trying to achieve status within their social circles.


Or you could call it smearing term from the jealousy and insecurity about the success others achieve through hard work.


Or maybe people don’t appreciate them getting upitty and want them to remember their place.


Ha ha ha, this reflects the most in x.com and xhs quite laughable. There are always these silly conflicts.
