As a "white person" I am getting a little tired of running interference for the equally economically successful Asians and South Asians.
- adventured 12y agoIn the US at least, asian people are more successful than white people are. Higher incomes, higher levels of college education, higher GPAs, higher SAT scores, lower unemployment rates, and lower rates of poverty. The recent trend to pretend that asian people are white people as far as diversity is concerned is extremely disturbing. It points to an incredible racism at the heart of the arguments.
- fillskills 12y agoAs an "asian person" I have never faced any discrimination in the US. Thank you world! BUT, my wife and her female engineer friends face discrimination every single day at their jobs. The issues they face are just sad. So from my viewpoint, gender discrimination could not be more real and a very serious issue.
