So that means I graduated high school just before I turned 16.

I had already done one year of college at that point because this program, it believed in

excellence.

If you were willing to put in the work, you were able to excel and jump ahead.

That program today was deemed racist by the state of California.

And so the state of California essentially said there's too

many white kids, too many Asian kids in it, so it's not fair. And that accelerated path does not

exist in the same way today that it did back then. And I think that what I'd be hearing from

teachers is that everything stacked against me, right? Your mom was a refugee, Latina, you know, so you're a Latino,

and Latinos just are going to have a harder time achieving things because this country is racist,

so on and so forth. You know, I mean, you know the drill. Everybody knows what a young kid would be

getting told these days. And, you know, you can pretend you're doing that out of some sort of good-hearted,

you know, empathetic vision of the world

where you're trying to uplift people and right wrongs of the past. But the truth is, it's just

disempowering. All you're doing is giving people excuses. And I think that that's an incredibly

dangerous thing.

Hello.

Hey, yeah, you know what's funny, too,
