This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Could you afford to move to Tokyo for 4 years of university? It's expensive and requires wealthy parents to go to school abroad like that.

Not to mention that most colleges/universities charge international students more than domestic. Many Asian students attend university in the UK purely for prestige, and many of them fork out enough money for managed accommodation that it's become a huge business in itself.

Some asians in the US were born here, to working class asian parents.

That's what I was confused about. Like, how can you tell someones money by their race. It had the same energy as "they look mexican, they must be illegals" to me.
