I'd never discourage anybody from pursuing their dreams especially when we identify with similar struggles! Coming from a culture of discouragement, because you aren't white is shameful, and unforgivable. This needs to be addressed, & shunned from our community! On one end of the spectrum they expect you to fail, but on the other end of the spectrum when you beat the odds your own people will sabotage you! THAT'S JUST PURE TRASH, & I'll never try to make sense of it.
