Is it racist conditioning? Because of my gender? Both? Neither? Please share your opinion.

Why are professors shocked every time I get a high A on a midterm or am able to help one of my classmates with a concept during a supervised study group?
In addition to the aforementioned experiences I have had with several professors I've also held customer service jobs in which customers have actually said things like " That was smart. Are you smart?"
to me.
It's crazy.
For most of my academic life (3rd grade -present) I've been a straight A student. If I didn't have the highest grade in a particular class I was at least one of the top three students when ranking students by test average.
I feel like part of my success has to do with the fact I didn't have much interaction with racist or sexist authority figures until high school.
I never doubted my abilities and would always work really hard the few times I struggled with concepts because I was encouraged despite my race and gender.
I also come from a very educated family that has members whom are in various stem fields which also helped me believe in the fact I could do this type of work too.
Idk.

You Cancer men can be so confusing sometimes. I've been having major issues with the father of my children...to the point of having to get a restraining order against him for all of us. We aren't together, and have been divorced for a while (3ish years).
