So if a more capable woman loses her position to less qualified man due to state pressure, the woman was not we are inflicting harm on her, we are just pushing her forward.
Ooh, the turnabout! Okay, I'll happily play this game, as I've been on the receiving end of this policy before! Just probably not in the way you think...
Given my wealth of experience and background in a STEM field, I've enjoyed a small measure of preference in the hiring process. This has allowed me a chance at jobs that might normally not consider me a first choice, but since I can also pass for white and only speak a small amount of spanish since it was banned in my home growing up, I have also lost out on positions to less educated individuals who were bilingual or from minority groups that are underrepresented...
SO I MOVED ON TO ANOTHER JOB UNTIL I GOT ONE. Yes, it wasn't always easy and it could get discouraging, but that is the fault of the system at large more than anything and I still had those in demand skills for somewhere else. Ideally, in a utopian world, it could just be that the best fit gets the best job, but in the USA we don't have enough 8 hour a day jobs for everyone and there has been centuries of bias both in the education system and hiring process that needs to be addressed immediately even if we are still waiting on substantial social reform. I wasn't harmed, I just wasn't helped into the first job I wanted.
Nobody needs your celebrations. Racism in the selection process is unfair. We don´t make the NBA 4% Asian because they need more representation. If an African-American cannot play in the NBA because of this form of racism, I`m sure he would understand and "still be motivated to do their best" (as you put it).
Not quite how that works in sports. It doesn't just reflect population, but cultural participation as well. This is why some sports are dominated by ethnic and regional groups where there is more interest, and if it wasn't there would for damn sure be a push to get more inclusion in the NBA and other groups. That being said, this is also really weird whataboutism, methinks you're mistaking "equality" for "status quo". The idea of inclusion measures is to react to inequality over large spans of time even if it means disrupting a supposedly egalitarian system with the long term goal of getting everyone back to an even playing field.
I don´t have the numbers but I would be surprised if they didn´t make up at least 4%. Since you made the claim, you should provide the numbers. (Though I am not in favor of equating skill and success)
To be fair, Asia is a big place, and groups from different regions have vastly different median incomes, but I like links.
https://www.pewresearch.org/social-...-the-u-s-is-rising-most-rapidly-among-asians/ <- This article doesn't delve into the details quite as much as some others, but a lot of wealthy Asian folk are from either first generation families who brought over wealth or established wealthy families. My stepsiblings fall into this category as well, hence my father pining for a woman who knew very little English while he knew very little Chinese. Their relationship was purely business...
https://www.statista.com/statistics/300528/us-millionaires-race-ethnicity/ <-- This is probably what you're aiming for, showing that in the special snowflake upper class area, asians become millionaires more often than the percentage of the population they represent (8% millionaires v about 6% population, although breaking down the ethnic groups throws this ratio around quite a bit as per the prior link) and that Caucasians still dominate more of that class than their percentage. The level of wealth I was looking at, however, is the tippity top billionaires club, and I'll yield that I very much underestimated the number of Indian tech giants.
BTW I´m wondering what your step-siblings think about this topic. More and more young Asians Americans have found out that you need to march with BLM etc in order to gain access to high society. They support the oppression of their own group for personal gain.
Well, all but one of my siblings marched with BLM even after being established financially in the middle class, and they all got degrees from prestigious universities and acknowledged that their access to wealth was paramount to their education access even if they were otherwise gifted as well, so... we're all commies who seek out a greater communal whole!
I do want to point out that your comments here have kinda brought something into focus, and I don't think it has been stated clearly. You do know that you're a rather unremarkable meat popsicle in general but at least insofar as the quality of your posts on this form goes, and your personal tribulations and situation do not sway anybody here to your cause, right? I don't care if you were violently ravaged by a BLM academic grant board and sodomy club out to uniquely target Asians, your personal situation does not interest me and you've done nothing to build up even a shred of empathy considering your lack of compassion for others. You seem particularly self-focused and snowflakeish.
