I was just told as an Asian-Latina female math student by a white female math student that she thinks diversity (in this case, ethnic/racial diversity) is stupid bc it doesn’t matter what race a mathematician is to her as long as they can do math. There are no words adequate enough to describe how this feels. This comes on a week where I’ve attended two math lectures and noted how almost everyone was a white male, usually on the older end.

To top it off, she was saying she understands why diversity in gender is a big deal, as she is often the only female in a group of guys doing math. I’m in shock. We’re both undergrads at CUNY, a diverse school in one of the most diverse places on the planet (NYC). I was talking to her about Math REUs, which are summer research programs that are supposed to encourage more underrepresented minorities to try out math research, and how one website seemed to only feature white people.

I wrote her a thoughtful note in return and urged her to check out the current Abigail Thompson & diversity discussions that are going on in math community right now. But I’m not sure it will do anything and I don’t expect her to read it.

Your feminism isn’t true feminism if it’s only feminism for white women & isn’t intersectional. I’m going to write a longer post about this on my blog some time. Maybe a YouTube video but idk yet.

Getting this mug foreshadowed my first breakdown of the school semester 🙃

Had some pizza and garlic knots for lunch, which was the first food I ate all day. I didn’t have a good morning and I felt bad sort of starving my body.

March 27th, 2020: Day 5/100 Days of Productivity:

See that to do list? I literally only did like 1/4 of it, haha. Today I was pretty lazy, which is bad :( I’m trying not to be too hard on myself but it can be good to recognize when I’m genuinely not putting enough effort.

I had a meeting with my academic advisor this morning and we basically concluded that my summer program’s decisions basically determine my future plans- what a big yikes! I got an update from my REU today and all they told me was that they weren’t able to make a decision yet on if the program will be online or whatever. It’s understandable but now I’m just constantly waiting and stressing about this situation. Sigh.

I finished my third reading of The Wise Man’s Fear. It’s still so good!

Also, peep my desk setup :)

Try doing your laundry at 6:45 AM! It’s super empty in the laundry room and you’ll get the dryer you want (the only one that you know works well)

New favorite place to take good food pictures: Dumpling Daughter.

The buns were honestly kinda meh compared to New York ones, to be honest. However, the “donuts” aka fried dough chunks were awesome! They tasted like funnel cake, which I haven’t had in like a year and a half, so it was great to get to eat that.
