I guess people expect Indians to be smart, so once I got like a 78 on my American Studies test, and ppl were like, omg you did so bad, or like, I did better than you I’m so happy! I was really annoyed because it’s not like I immediately get good grades, and I feel like I saw the expectations other people set for me, and I felt like I realized how judgy people and communities can be.
