I see good points on both sides here, but I think it's way too easy to say,
"Well, since I'm a minority, I won't bother to try to take care of myself."
I refused to do that, and have never regretted it. Interestingly, my
husband had help with his early college tuitions simply for being the son of
Polish immigrants - but instead of looking for handouts, he was working
toward his future, which as some of you know, is quite successful now.
That's how it's *supposed* to be.
