No, I am absolutely not white! Just your typical Hong Kong kid that moved here with my parents when I was young.

I needed an elective in 2nd year, and decided to sit in a first year women studies course because somehow I thought it would be a good idea to try something different. And boy was it ever different! It was a small lecture hall, and there were all these intimidating and mostly Caucasian women taking the course.
The thing that made them "imtimidating" were -- a good number of them looked like they were hardcore feminists straight out from the stereotypical tropes. The prof was making it sound like the whole world was against having woman succeed. After that first week of class, I left so fast that I never had any intentions to consider any WS courses at all.
The eye-opening course for this IT nerd at the time was Econ 101. Rows and rows of neatly and beautifully dressed Asian girls sitting in the giant lecture hall, compared to the 3 or 4 "girls" in my 2nd year computational math class of ~200 students. Of course, all the guys in class were pretty much dressed in rags (or a Taiga / MEC shell).
