Then you might understand.
The profession should be color blind. It should be whatever blind.
it's very hard to be a straight Cajun from South Louisiana too.
So what...…
Everything's hard. Nothing worth doing is easy. It's probably hard being a female or gay astronaut. I don't think the standards, etc., should be lowered, or there needs to be any special consideration because it's "hard."
If this is your profession, suck it up and decide if it's for you. The profession as a whole will not change, nor will it's entry requirements, nor it's sacred rights of passage, nor will its requirements to stay in the profession.
I can't think of a single profession worth doing that's easy regardless of what side of the tracks you grew up on etc., etc. etc.
