<p>Any fellow brown people on here?
:)</p>
<p>Care to discuss our various struggles growing up with our loving but sometimes crazy immigrant parents? Haha.</p>
<p>Yup I know what you mean, but I think my parents gave up on me.</p>
<p>My parents don’t really care about what I do, as long as i keep the wonderful 4.0, get a 34 act (done!), and get into a ba md program (yikes).</p>
<p>Lol whenever I go to visit my family in India, it’s always: “Do you want to be an engineer or a doctor?”</p>
<p>The awkward moment when you don’t want to be either…</p>
<p>Brown girl reporting in! 
</p>
<p>My parents aren’t that bad, I don’t think. They put pressure on me, but it’s not any more than I put on myself, so :-/. Plus, I do want to be a clinician- scientist, so there are no arguments about that ;).</p>
<p>That being said, I am frustrated with their attitudes towards dating and stuff like that. They’re annoyingly conservative with those kinds of things and it gets irritating after a while :-/.</p>
<p>BROWN PRIDE! 
lol My parents just expect me to get straight A’s and become a pharmacist…</p>
<p>haha, luckily I don’t have to be an engineer or doctor or lawyer :D</p>
<p>Haha, even though I’m not brown, I must say…</p>
<p>PROUD TO BE BROWN!</p>
<p>yeah man. EDIT: that color doesn’t look brown. but whatever.</p>
<p>So what are you guys? I’m Punjabi! :)</p>
<p>fascination, Chinese people do not belong in this thread :P</p>
<p>I’m Bengali</p>
<p>Hey, fellow Indian here!</p>
<p>My situation is kind of flipped; my parents want me to be a engineer, but I want to be a doctor…</p>
<p>I’m from Uttar Pradesh…dunno if you guys know about it. I don’t often encounter people from my state.</p>
<p>lol @ the amount of brown people who want to become either an engineer or a doctor.</p>
<p>Hahahaha! Oh man. Yeah I often find that brown people enjoy math and science, so if it’s what you want to do, then by all means go for it! Screw stereotypes!</p>
<p>And lol about dating. I don’t even know…it’s not even like I’ve had an opportunity to date anyone (forever alone) but yeah I guess they can’t really stop me in college. And it’s not like we’re going to pick some drug addict who will get us pregnant! Sigh. Indian parents :P</p>
<p>oh, and I’m Telugu! (south Indian hehe)</p>
<p>Yeeeeeeee boyyyyy reppin’ Hyderabad, India!</p>
<p>My parents are pretty lax towards school. I guess it’s cuz I’m doing pretty well. 
but I got a few B’s and it wasn’t like the world ended or anything, thankfully. Lol.</p>
<p>ecounter- i’m from the UP too! haha lucknow swag. My parents are really cool actually. We had our moments after I asianfailed frosh year, but they’re cool with dating and not crazy about studies like some others.</p>

<p>98beebee, I love that song! Totally my jam right here. White-washed and proud (not really).
And fascination, lol at the video
twentythirteen, YESSS me tooooooo! haha at least from my dad’s side. </p>
<p>I can’t wait to meet more desi people in college! (if I even get in lolololol) We only have 4 brown people in my grade, including me, and that’s out of almost 800 people. So you can tell I’ve been deprived of Indianness for some time.</p>
