Welcome Asian students

I checked my UC email today and I received an invite for, get this... the annual Asian Student Welcome (clever title huh?). They describe it as an opportunity to "meet and network with key administrators and faculty, meet other students, and learn more about the various student organizations."

I don't know why this invitation makes me so pissed off. I understand that I most likely only received my full scholarship based on my Asian heritage rather than all of my work, which I am still extremely grateful for, but.. I don't know. I've always had a problem with my identity. I was born and raised in France, moved to America when I was 9, and am of Asian decent. You see how that probably confused you? Yeah, it confuses me too. I don't like being grouped with other Asians, it's one of the reasons why I didn't want to go to UCI (then I met all these amazing people and changed my mind about UCI). I want to be treated like an individual based on my skills and hard work, not based on something I cannot control. Maybe I'm just being dramatic, but something about that email irked me.
