Except they never said that, and were just ranting about how frustrated they felt working in the STEM field as a POC woman? *squints* I can't tell if you're trolling and looking to cause as much wank as you can, or if you take things way too seriously and literally. I want to say troll, but I know people who react like you in real life too.

"All I want is a legit fair chance, and that's something I'll never get in this world because of racial imbalance."

That's all she wants and she's convinced she'll never get it.

Nope, not trolling at all. OP asked "Why bother?" Well, that's why. Sorry if that's too literal for you, but it's the logic that gets me through from one day to the next in a far less lucrative field than STEM, so I kind of have to take it seriously.

But they're ranting, in a rant thread. They never said they were actually going to give up, or that POC shouldn't actually go into those kinds of fields. They were just venting some frustration.
But by all means, if you think you're going to teach her the lessons of life, and how to be a POC, go ahead and smugly lecture her. I'm sure you opened up her eyes, and she appreciates it. /sarcasm

And now you're making me want to rant. I don't give a single fuck what race OP is or how she chooses to go about it, thank you. I was commenting solely on the matter of whether it's worth it for ANYONE to work hard in a good-paying, in-demand field of endeavor when they know they won't do as well as someone else. Anybody else, for any reason, doesn't matter, that's not the point.

Jesus fuck, talk about first-world problems. "Waaaah, we all get triple-fudge banana splits, but mine's not good enough because the teacher's pet always gets an extra scoop of ice cream and it's NOT FAIR!"
