I think you should maybe re-read what I wrote.

  It was pretty clear. > when disadvantages put on Asian individuals are explicitly laid out as systemic and on the basis of their race. What exactly have I been disadvantaged in?

    "Asian" in American lingo usually doesn't include Indians. It's basically Chinese/Japanese/Korean.

    Oh, you assumed I was Asian. Now I understand your original post. The areas Asians are disadvantaged in are college admissions and hiring practices. There is an active lawsuit against YouTube for issuing freezes on hiring white and Asian males, on the premise that they needed to hire more people from other racial/ethnic groups. This is simply not something that would happen to another minority group. The people that tend to otherwise fixate on racial identity and collective privilege will typically also conveniently ignore Asians, whose successes in this "white supremacist" nation throw a bit of a wrench in their world view.

I've interviewed with Google multiple times without issue > whose successes in this "white supremacist" nation throw a bit of a wrench in their world view. Interesting that you should mention that, because perceived/actual white supremacy is a reason why Asians are voting overwhelmingly against Republicans today.
