I'll just casually mention here that in the last week or so someone on hn claimed very insistenly to me that they, as an asian man, were the primary "victim" of modern dei policies and that white people weren't harmed by them. And that this was why dei was bad and that I was engaging in white supremacy to suggest anything to the contrary.
You cannot both be correct in the reasons you dislike dei. They're contradictory. (You could both be wrong, but you can't both be right).
- Manuel_D 4y agoIt's entirely possible for both to be right: different companies have different DEI policies. At Dropbox from 2015-2019 we had 4 diversity categories, from most to least desirable: * Double diverse: Black or Latin + female * diverse: white or Asian female, or Black or Latin male. * standard: white male * Negatively diverse: Asian male So it definitely is the case that asian males are even more undesirable than white males at some companies. I can attest to that myself. But each company is different, some categorize Asians as diverse.
- joshuamorton 4y agoGreat grandparent said nothing about "companies", but "life", so the fact that different companies may discriminate in different ways is irrelevant to their point, is it not?
- Manuel_D 4y agoThe entire context of this thread is bias in employment at Google. If the parent comment wants to clarify what they're talking about, I'll let them do it rather than have other speak on their behalf.

- jrsj 4y agoThat guy was wrong. He's also looking at it from a binary perspective when that is not how any of this works.
