You have missed the point. However they are being treated, by definition, is how asian-americans in tech are treated.
They aren't being treated as "not POC", that is how asian poc are treated.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThat seems like a pretty circular argument. What evidence would falsify it? What if I made a similar argument except I replaced "asian" with "french"? How would you prove there's a difference between that argument and your argument?
- wcarron 6y agoIt is a tautology in a sense, but the point is that the case isn't "asian people are treated like white people in tech". The case is "white and asian people are treated like X in tech". Hope that makes sense.
- ngokevin 6y agoOkay, sure. I’m just drawing an equivalence to how Asians are treated to how whites are treated, rather than how I think they should be treated, as POCs. That’s my point, a point of comparison and contrast.
