...meet another South Asian girl, I am not going to look to her hair or eye color as a distinguishing feature. Rather, I’ll instinctively note other physical features, like eye shape or the texture of her hair. These visual markers could easily escape someone who has grown up in an environment with few or no South Asians—someone who has never before had to look beyond hair color or general skin tone as a defining visual feature. Errors of identification usually spring from thus approaching all ethnicities with the same observational focus, from race blindness...
...mentioned your parents' emphasis on academics. Who else has been an inspiration for you? Garrett Johnson, who won the Rhodes Scholarship in 2006 at Florida State, is another. He and I have grown very close. He helped me through the Rhodes application process - he would send me text messages every day with interview prep questions - and has mentored me with how to deal with the media.

That dwindling public confidence has done nothing to help the Calderón administration fend off the effects of the global economic crisis. This year the Mexican peso has lost about a fifth of its value against...
...perhaps gives some insight into “the real Beyoncé” hiding beneath the raunchy club beats and one-line choruses. Luckily for Knowles, she has an alter ego to pick up the slack. Sasha Fierce is the Beyoncé we’ve grown accustomed to—the one with fast, hi-hat-loaded dance beats and lyrics that sacrifice sensibility for rhythmic flow. Touting producers like Jim Jonsin, Sean Garrett, and Wayne Wilkins, “Sasha Fierce” is a compilation of back-to-back hits, all of which are worthy...
