Nothing could have prepared me for the realities of what my university experience turned out to be. Not only did it become the first time I got interested in lazy political commentary, but it was the first time I would come into contact with Asians in the flesh, as a Statistics and Actuarial Science Major.

Aside from the joys of appreciating how beautiful they all were — inside and outside might I add — the complexities of trying to identify the ones I wanted to make my friends quickly compounded, as it became apparent how often a sizable proportion would refute generalized demographic statistics that didn’t favor them.

‘… doesn’t apply to us.’

In the weeks that followed my second semester, I made it a mission to discover what affirmed the humanity of some of my classmates and dorm mates who came from different backgrounds.

I created a survey titled What makes you/ your family better than average in your neighborhood of __(hash magash)__?

Although I had personally handed out the questionnaires to each of them, my plan was to further shrink the sample size to the handful of opinionated bastards
