First, a group can be successful but still suffer from discrimination. It's not mutually exclusive. Let us consider the following. 1. For decades, the American media and Hollywood have emasculated and humiliated Asian men. Rarely are they cast in non-stereotypical roles. They are portayed as martial arts experts or sexless geeks. 2. It's still considered acceptable to make fun of Asian men. Try saying anything negative about black men, and you will get crucified. 3. Asian men do not get affirmative action of any sort. They are held to significantly higher standards in admission and hiring. In contrast, it's super easy for blacks and Latinos to get into elite schools. 4. The Democratic Party caters to every minority group except Asian men. They have been silent on black crime against Asian men in our major cities. They never talk about issues facing Asian men.
Except this is not true in other fields like media, acting, comedy, or even law. Tech and medicine (and maybe finance) are the only fields Asians can go into, and even there they face an uphill climb.
Asian men should start selling drugs. Then they can claim for diversity programs. Why work hard?
The democratic party only focuses on issues that liberal white people care about.
And the conservative party only focuses on issues that conservative white people care about. Welcome to America. Where you're free to support the person who wants you gone from this country.
Yeah, but you know what? The conservative party does not hide that.
When you say Asian are you including the south Asians as well?
No. South Asians are called 'South Asian'. Asians are called 'Asian'. Middle Eastern people are called 'Middle Eastern'. I thought the difference in the races was pretty damn clear, it's not about geography. The same post by OP may apply to South Asians but that's not the objective.
I do include South Asian men as well.
Asian includes South Asian.
Even when applying for jobs. South Asian identify as Asian.
Really? South Asians are included? Lots of guys I know from the subcontinent call themselves Caucasian.
Is the OP Asian?
Asian discrimination is deep seated in America. Goes back a long time to laws preventing Asian men from taking typical male jobs and marrying white so men to help emasculate them. However, racism against blacks in America goes back even further and we still haven’t fixed that so I don’t see the situation for Asians getting better anytime soon.
If they are gonna AA high tech or medical jobs, why not NBA NFL or Hollywood?
My observation is if you are not white you are going to be discriminated in this country. On top of that if you are an immigrant then the discrimination doubles. It applies to even between people from this same group I mentioned.
Apparently white people are being discriminated against. Ask James Damore.
This. I cannot agree more. This is what you get after hardwork. World is a fucked up place.
