Dear white people: I like you guys.

Seriously, in high school, I was made fun of by the other Asian kids for having no Asian friends. I don’t know why, but it sure wasn’t because of a meager talent pool; I hail from Vancouver, BC, which, according to some sources, is 30% Asian. But I digress.

As much as I like you guys, I’ve come to realize that sometimes I really feel sorry for you. I most recently had this revelation as I strolled through (okay, elbowed through at a sloth’s pace) the NSO Activities Fair on Tuesday.

Bombarded with pamphlets (I guess I look young) and later, out of curiosity, browsing through the OSL Cultural and Support Organization list, I was elated that I, at this moment, technically have the option of joining the Asian Student Union, Asian Pacific Student Coalition, Canadians at Penn, and the Korean Student Association. In fact, if you are a minority student, you are free to dabble in the veritable potpourri of Penn’s available cultural groups.

But what do you have if you’re one of them simple, good ol’ WASP-y American types?
