| what you are saying is COMPLETELY true. I'm only a frosh (and so far i've kept a 4.0) but I am always surrounded by those stereotypical "asians" who are entirely grade obsessed. and i'm asian too, so it seems like there is this standard set for me that I have no intention to even regard. However, i do think it is unfair to disregard such people as those who have no life. I know for a fact a lot of people classify me as contemptuous, but it isn't because i am rude at all, its more a combination of my race, class schedule, and GPA. Outside of school I do a ton though. I play sports (LAX, Volleyball, Basketball), sing and play piano competitively, and do a lot of community service stuff. It seems almost as if others (no offense but, ya, some of you guys) are jealous of the accomplishments of their peers...
Of course, there are many people out there who are the physical embodiment of an "asian" (patronizing and all), but I'm just suggesting that maybe it isn't fair to judge them so harshly. |
