<p>im in the same situation. i am nigerian, well american born, but both parents are nigerian. i am pretty much known as the “smart” girl because of where i am from. sometimes it gets annoying. but i got to a dominantly black school, and we have NEVER had a black valedictorian. it makes me upset because the little white people that do go to my school brag about their little 4.2 gpa ( i never tell them my gpa because i dont want to hurt their feelings --yea i have a better gpa then them) and brag about their class rank. to be honest i do not know any african american that is in the top ten. there is me, and the rest are white asian and 1 indian</p>
