<p>The whole being Asian thing is unfortunate though. I’m Asian, but my parents are not of the high income bracket. They came to this country with nothing and currently only make ~30,000/year combined. I have four older siblings who are all in college. The only reason why my parents can afford these tuitions (with financial aid) is that they have been saving their whole lives. So now, when it is my time to go to college, it’s no surprise that we barely have money leftover in our savings account.</p>
<p>What upsets me though is that when people see the race Asian, they have expectations. And maybe there is a higher norm for Asians regarding income, opportunities, and test scores. But everyone needs to remember that within stereotypes and generalizations, there are always outliers.</p>
