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.

Yeah she's a PhD student and her parents both had (what I assume would be) good paying careers. That being said, Chinese people are still humans and can have an entire range of experiences and outlooks, regardless of class. But you're right that certain ideas are more culturally ingrained.

Ya, for sure they are elite. Plenty of doctors want to come to America and have zero change. You're basically dating a 1%er of China. Don't fuck it up.
