It's the exact same situation seen in the University of California system. I think we're going to reach the point where Asian women in tech will no longer be counted as URM sometime this decade, just as we saw happen in the UC sys

I'm addicted to the internet, not my phone. I used to spend 10+ hours a day on a desktop. Then that time was split between my desktop and a laptop, after I got my first one. Then smartphones came out, and it's now split between a
