No. I am suggesting that races shouldn't be lumped together, such as Asian Americans should be in a different 'bucket' than people from China. For what its worth, I don't believe in race based diversity at all; I believe

Lets not forget that promotions are for those who build new stuff and those who maintain old stuff don't get promoted. To add further insult to injury, colleges send SWE/SDEs to the work force to learn to 'actually code'
