I got so bored, that I took that "Dr. Stone" anime stuff a sibling watched and wrote about historical stuff and went into a topic about technology, because I was so bored. Go figure.

For clarification, I _never_ listed myself as a racial minority in any scholarship or award application, despite being "two or more races" and still not having a specific listing for each that is actually on any forms (white/native american/hispanic).
I never listed myself as a minority out of personal preference; no one could rudely come up to me and say, "you only got it because you are a minority", which is actually how I stopped many racist and ableist comments in person aimed at others. Bullies had nothing to go on when I told them this in front of others, so their bullying had no choice but to stop.
Same for ableism; people could not believe I ever had anything close to an IEP, so when others gave people with disability diagnoses a hard time, I stopped them in their tracks by mentioning my background, and how despite it being open season on people like me decades ago, I graduated valedictorian and got noted by two U.S. presidents and a huge scholarship to college with the odds stacked against me. They had no power to bully those with disability diagnoses around me after that.
"Autistic people swear a lot and hate their fathers."
"Weird, I never remember liking to swear or hating my family. I don't recall hating someone even if they hate me."
"What are you talking about? Oh...wait, you mean you're autistic?"
"Is there a problem with that?"
"Well, you're very high functioning to be in college."
"Perhaps moreso than you, given that I will graduate with a triple major in pre-med, plus one other science and one related to expository writing and essays, professor. yours is in english, correct? And of course this specific class is an audit, so no worries about my grades when I voice my opinion in here."
