Today, my parents asked me what my top choice for college was. Since I want to major in economics, I said, "the University of Chicago". My parents were STUNNED and said, "Beta, we thought you were so smart...why do you want to go to a school for black people?" I still think they do not know that UChicago is one of the best schools for economics, despite being in Chicago. MLID.
