Hi everyone!
I was planning on writing a diversity as I am an Indian/South Asian woman who grew up in a US community without many other asians. I'm going back and forth on writing it.
For context, my parents immigrated to the US and my sis and I were raised here. There is a lot I could write about in terms of culture and race and how it has contributed to who I am. But I wonder how adcom perceives diversity statements from Asians/South Asians?
I know they say write about diversity in any way you see fit, but I guess I'm hesitant to write something they won't appreciate regardless.
And of course, I believe that asian heritage is extremely unique, I'm just trying to think not only of my perspective, and to hear folks' thoughts.
To write, or not? And if so, any tips from folks who have written them?
Thanks everyone!
