yes, it's a combination of race sh*t, and "you're pretty" sh*t, and "you're creative" sh*t.
it's as though if you hit the genetic potluck, that means you must be a bimbo. because "pretty girls are dumb" -- additionally, "pretty girls have blonde hair" which meant that in my school i wasn't considered pretty. but i was considered black, and everyone knew that the only reason i got into Yale and Harvard was because i'm black. right? except for the black kids who didn't get into Yale, but that just meant that i got in because i was lighter than them, hnot because i was smart or talented or anything like that. (that was sarcastic) and creative people aren't *smart*, science and math geeks are *smart*. artists are not *smart*. they are *artsy* and supposed to hate science.
i'm not good at math though.
even though i really, really, really like quantum mechanics. i am terrible at newtownian physics though. which is weird, to say the least.
this gets a bit ranty.... :/
