> I've worked in small teams where I was the only Asian person among a team of white men, and I neither noticed any hints of racism nor sexism.

I don't think your situations are comparable. Women are ~50% of the population and sexual undertones have nothing to do with ethnicity, but everything to do with gender.

Also, I think it is MUCH more likely for a team to have only one woman than only one Asian. From my experience working as a dev in the US, anyway.

At any rate, I've never been on a team that didn't have several Asians. But I've had many co workers tell me they've never worked with a woman before (which in itself is awkward to hear unprompted, haha).

Thanks for pointing out that race and sex are not comparable. It's true, they really aren't.

You might be confusing sexuality and sexism.

I disagree. Some sexual undertones have to do with ethnicity because of stereotypes of Asian women etc.

Not sure what such stereotypes you're talking about, but regardless where does your example not have to do with gender?
