<p>Cameroonian and… Cameroonian (but both of my parents come from different tribes. Scandal!)
Pros: URM status. Nigerian movies. Good family values… I would never, ever put my parents in a nursing home. Kind of exotic- sort of. I also like to shock people with the fact that I’ve actually been gifted with a functioning brain(<em>sigh</em>.) Also, no one evr knows where Cameroon is (in the “elbow” of Africa, btw.)
Cons: URM status. And my family is kind of racist- espescially against blacks, which is weird. And they’re homophobic (well, my dad anyway.) The fact that I was always have to prove to people that I’m intelligent. Getting tracked by cops at malls (yes, that rwally happens.) The fact that every time I go to someone’s house to study/do a project, I have to spend a good fifteen minutes explaining to their parent(s) that: a) yes, I AM actually in your son’s honors class. b) No, I am NOT here to polute him, get him hooked on crack, or jack your car. I swear, do you know how many times I’ve had to pull the “Oh my god, my next SAT is coming, if I don’t get at least a 2300 I’m dead” while “accidentaly” slipping in my last SAT score just to prove that I’m like them?
Oh, and Cameroonian food kind of sucks. I’m so sick of fufu right now…</p>
