Ok ok, as a woman of colour in engineering

I GOT SOME FUCKING BEEF

1) it’s full of white boys. No one in my classes looks like me and it’s a problem. WOC are just as smart.

2) white boys talk down to me CONSISTANTLY. I’m in the same classes as u! Had to pass the same requirements as u! Obviously I belong here too!

3) people will touch your hair. It’s very uncomfortable. If I wear my curly hair out people touch it. If I wear it straight people touch it. It’s not your fucking hair.

4) dating???? Lmao who. These boys look at me and say “but you’re not black, right?” Or “when I see you I don’t see black” GET OUTTA HERE W THAT SHIT ITS 2019.

5) these boys always are trying to share what they’re doing so it looks like they are better than u. FALSE! they are just insecure that a woman, nevermind being a person of color can perform just as well- if not better than they can.

6) all the POC in my engineering classes group together. There’s like 10 of us. U gotta find support somewhere.

If u are a minority in engineering, or STEM in general, I just want u to know that u got this. Go get that degree!
