- AdrianB1 4y agoWhat we learned in school decades ago is no longer considered correct by some people. Also logic is not a strong point of DEI people, for them math is racist [0] and logic is the basis of most math, so it is also racist. Also white is a color and white people are not even white, but pink [1].

- colpabar 4y agoTechnically, white is all colors.
- f6v 4y agoIt seems that some Asians are already over-represented in certain fields, like sciences. I heard somewhere that being Chinese makes your chances of admission worse.
- BurningFrog 4y agoSide issue, but I grew up in Sweden thinking asians have yellow skin. After living and working with asians for decades in the Bay area, I have yet to meet a yellow one. To my eye, they're on the same white(pink)-brown-black spectrum as the rest of humanity.
- ChickenNugger 4y agoWell yeah... White people are pale to darkly tanned Natives Americans are brown, not red Black people are brown, not black, some not even very brown Indian people are shades of brown too, and yet can be far darker than "black" people. Japanese people are brown, not yellow None of the colloquial color terms for races are accurate when you sit down and think about it. The one time it might have been accurate is redheads are often pale enough to be white, so of course we call them gingers/redheads. It's all a bit silly.
- zdragnar 4y agoSo are Black and Indigenous. The point is to lump Asians into "other" and only pay lip service to their inclusion.
