you know theres something not quite right about u-wisc if, during the Phi Beta Kappa induction, all you see are rows and rows of wisconsin cheeseheads and their proud parents, and you're the only chinky who is incidentally the only international student, the only blur coc from Singapore ("no , we don't flog people publicly for chewing gum."), speaking with a distinct Singaporean accent with a Chinky name that no one can pronounce and you're embarassed for them that they mangled it all up even though you told them - its okay just call me wang already.
now i understand what my PI was talking about when she mentionted that wisc is desperately in need of minorities to boost diversity ratings. Being an only underdressed chink among the sea of tuxedo clad paleskins is rather uncomfortable, when half of them buggers, "recognized with distinction for both breadth and depth in the liberal arts " don't know where the fuck singapore is.
Damn, Saturday was a weird shit experince.
