Well...yeah, ignorance is pretty much the definition of lack of knowledge. It isn't an insult though. It's just an objective definition.
There may be something in your background that makes you feel pressured. Try to find what it is and get past it

Hmmm... I hate to hear that. Before you are black or yellow or whatever, you are
you. Be you, whatever that may be, but decide for yourself what it is you are or want to be. You can get a ****ing PhD and still be you.
Do it to piss off your mom if for no other reason
The OP quoted "knowledge is power." It is but it's also protection. The more you know, the less likely you are to be fooled, walked on, and taken advantage of. And the more you know, the more you have to talk about
