<p>I never would not state my race, it’s part of who I am. If someone gives me an edge, the same way they give an edge to a legacy, that is out of my hands. I can’t pretend I’m nothing on an interview, dealing with racist students, bosses,etc., I’m not pretending to be nothing and not getting a scholarship when I desperately need money.
I don’t know many people that would want to be under my skin if given the chance, the “advantages” aren’t always very obvious. I work hard, study hard and I’m a good person, but part of who I am, is part of my race and my interactions wearing this skin.
I would never deny my race especially because someone thinks I’m getting something they deserve. The idiocy of that speaks for itself.</p>
