| This argument (or more specifically, personal accounts) doesn't really respond to the original argument about a high % of immigrants. Why is there always an in-group? What is the in-group of a place with: - 10% Asian Americans - 10% Indian Americans - 10% various white European immigrants - 15% Indian immigrants - 20% Asian immigrants (14% Chinese, 4% Korean, 2% other) - 25% white Americans - 5% Black/Hispanic Americans - 5% Black/Hispanic immigrants (With 10% females spread among those race/country lines) What I see happen is that the various groups separately cluster based on country of origin. None of the groups are dominant, so no one person (even a leader of a group) will feel comfortable making inflammatory remarks. Many times everyone on the team is introverted and no groups form at all. >Maybe you've been very lucky in your career, and haven't seen the discrimination, or maybe you really are part of the in-group and don't know about it. Ad hominem? I've been a minority in the most formative years in places where being different is tough and I understand the difficulties. I contrast the experience and demographics of work with those years. |
I don't know how that's even a question -- one group composes 90% of the workplace, and its a group that enjoys special privileges.
Racial discrimination and in-grouping isn't the only kind of in-group.
