Correct; “diversity” is shorthand for “racial Leninism”. It’s primarily about paying people off with status subsidies. Asians don’t need status subsidies so they don’t benefit from this system

I don't really see any political reason for this type of discrimination. It's just racism that nobody talks about because it's Asians who are seemingly well off economically when in reality the wealth disparity in this demographic is one of the widest. People see fu er dai students driving Lamborghini and think thats how all Asians live when in fact Asia is not even a country. For instance, its socially acceptable to make fun of Asian accents or other racially insensitive remarks but other minority groups are a no go. I recall when Justin Kan moved into his new home he was welcomed with a vandalized garage door with racial slurs. This supposedly the "most socio progressive and liberal state". It's the latter self titled label is an excuse to be even more blatantly racist while patting themselves on the back for having X number of friends from X ethnic group therefore I can't be a racist, not even realizing Asia isn't even a group of its own, its literally describing half of the lands on earth.

  East Asians are well off economically. If you’re confused about any of this, your model is broken. All you need to know is that East Asians are high IQ (within 0.3stddev of anglo or Germanic whites). This predicts everything else, including economic outcomes. Asians don’t get “diversity” points because they can’t be bribed with status subsidies; they are already high status (doctors, engineers, etc.) because of their intelligence. Slurs against Asians are less offensive because the connotation of being Asian is bad. No one would seriously use Asian as an insult. If there’s an ethnic group where calling someone a word for that ethnic group is horribly offensive, it’s because deep down people understand that this group is usually low status. Slurs like “kraut” or “nip” don’t really have any weight because they’re basically complements.

    Again you are grossly generalizing. Wealth disparity gap is one of the widest compared to other demographics. Basing your model on stereotypes and statistics is exactly why we have the issues I spoke about earlier. > If you’re confused about any of this, your model is broken. All you need to know is that East Asians are high IQ (within 0.3stddev of anglo or Germanic whites). This predicts everything else, including economic outcomes. wait wait wait. So you think IQ and race are correlated. So Africans are poor because they have low IQ is what you are saying. > Slurs against Asians are less offensive because the connotation of being Asian is bad. wow. I can't believe I just read this on HN. "Its okay to be a little racist to Asians because nobody thinks its offensive". Who are you? Sounds like you have a really skewed view of Asians (who are we even talking about? East Asians? South Asians? South East Asians? > Slurs like “kraut” or “nip” don’t really have any weight because they’re basically complements. WTF??? Who are you to gatekeep what is offensive and what isnt'? I just read you trying to justify racism against Asians. HN has truly fallen far from grace.

      > So you think IQ and race are correlated. Of course - we have several decades of twin and sibling studies confirming this effect. > I can't believe I just read this on HN Sorry, I dropped a word from my comment - I meant "the connotation of being Asian is not bad". That is, no one really has a problem with Asians or thinks it's bad to have them around. > Who are you to gatekeep what is offensive and what isnt I'm making an observation, not "gatekeeping". There are definitely slurs that are more offensive than others.
