I think often about my position in the world. I’m POC but a model minority. My immigrant family is poor but always supported my education. I’m queer but ace and bi, so oft pass for straight. If I wanted, I could ignore the world’s injustices.

This is why I fight harder.

Just 1 week ago the Supreme Court delivered its decision to limit race-conscious admissions in higher education.

I am thankful to @abdultsanni at @statnews for the space to share what this means to me as a Black woman & medical student.

Thinking of my sister today. Harvard was a singular obsession with my mom during my childhood and it became my sister’s singular obsession throughout her short life. It became my own source of insecurity as a 2.8 GPA Asian (we exist) who sucked at math and standardized tests.

Maybe it’s a Gen X thing but she never once felt entitled to Harvard or worried that someone else would “take her spot” because she was in competition with herself.

Needless to say, losing her impacted our whole family. In our own ways we all stopped giving a fuck about Harvard.

So hello AAPI. I get where the obsession for elite schools as access points to the American Dream comes from. Been there, done that.

All this to say this obsession with elite schools without understanding this country’s history makes first generation immigrants easy targets for Edward Blum and friends without knowing who he even is.

It’s in their interest to see their fear of “demographic change” fighting each other for scraps because the idea of a more inclusive society for all is happening and it means a loss of control.

This is what this SCOTUS win for them was about. So feel how you want but just know that being used as a model minority tool is a choice.

If elite schools like Harvard just admitted the highest scorers on the SAT, such schools would probably experience a decline in their elite status, which is the very reason people so badly want to be admitted in the first place.

Folks aren’t ready for that conversation.

There is no amount of self-care or wellness that can fix a broken system.
How many more residents have to suffer?

Dr Nakita Mortimer may you rest in power and finally find peace🕊️

This is my dear friend, Nakita.

Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.

She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)
