@NavyLady64 ,
Your tone is no worse than the woe is me tone often expressed when the topic of URM's, recruited athletes and females comes up. If she carries a little bit of a chip on her shoulder then good. However, its better to keep that chip in her pocket(book)
rather than keeping it on full display. She shouldn't fret any "misunderestimation" she might run into along to the way. It will all be to her advantage as she quietly proves herself. I'm sure Tammy Duckworth got a number of side glance looks before she lost her legs.
I always explained to my DS that there are situations in which URM's might have some advantage over him, the same as there would be situations where his being a blood-haired, blue eyed Protestant Male from the Midwest would be to his advantage and I would expect him to use it.
Congratulations and best of luck to your DD, but she really better bone up on her World of Warcraft.
