Look guize, us Asian men don't count in the diversity quota. In fact it works against us. We retain all the 'privilege' narrative-based negative points in Progressive demonology as white men, plus we gain a few systematic discrimination points from University affirmative action programs, etc. Whenever 'diversity' is mentioned, we are either invisible or to be implicitly counted among white men.


I seem to recall from a long, long time ago back in the day when I had to fill out some sort of team diversity form at MSFT that Asians didn't count.

Take this anecdotal datum with a huge grain of salt, and season it further with the fact that I'm dredging up memories from ten years ago. Maybe it was Indians (yes, a subset of Asians, I realize), I don't know. I just remember asking HR about $NON_WHITE_GUY, and was told he didn't count because (paraphrasing) "successful minority group in software".


Progressives don't demonize white people. You should investigate what a progressive actually is, rather than regurgitate whatever talking points you're getting from mass media or wherever.


all of the drawbacks and none of the benefits.
