Becoming White: The Panther of Color Experience

So you've decided to come to Chapman—bold move! As you're trying to convince yourself to live in Orange during an election year, here's what helped me! Now, I know it might sound crazy, but after three years in this place, I am 100% a white person who's "super tan" and "of Indian descent"! Want to know how? Just follow these three steps, and you're set.

1. Becoming a socialist*, so when people point at you and yell TRUMP, you can just say, "I don't like Kamala either!" *but keep it mysterious about it—racists love that!
2. Get your dad to make a lot of money...but never reveal how.
3. When you take your social sciences classes this semester, and everyone looks at you when they bring up BLM (you're not black), just look behind you, confused.

It's pretty simple, right? And remember, don't get too vocal about your POC concerns about where your money is going by protesting or having an encampment. That's just too "real" and "complex" for the average white brain.
