There are plenty of other over-represented minorities who can share similar stories.
I'm a Korean American male who migrated to the US as a second grader. I did not know any English and my parents were nail salon workers. I was on state assisted lunch program during middle and high school. While my parents had more than $30, we were certainly in lower socioeconomic class.
However, I was fortunate to have loving parents who wanted good things for me and my brother and I was studious/lucky/smart enough to go to a southern Ivy.
You're not being very kind by simply denying the struggles of over-represented minorities.
