IMMIGRANT SCENARIO
Anita, a second-generation-Asian immigrant, just started college. A self-assured girl, she displays none of the self-conscious traits one usually sees in her parents. Unlike Anita, her parents have had it tough with only enough money to make both ends meet. Till the time Anita was born, they could not afford to live in any of the respectable residential neighborhoods. Some of the neighborhood authorities make it mandatory for aspiring residents to submit details like age, ethnicity, sex, occupation, income, region, religion, and gender. Anita has always seen her parents juggle between two world-views whenever they had to make up their minds as they try to negotiate between a perceived sense of guilt for their native country and a perceived sense of loyalty for the host country. Despite their insistence that she joins an Asian community, Anita joined Delta, a sorority for geometry lovers. She has always been passionate about geometry and her membership to Delta, not only defines her on-campus personality, it makes her 'cool' in front of her other peers.
