I've always found it curious how asians are treated as honorary whites when it comes to talking about diversity in American companies. This is the most egregious example.

If you go to Google's own diversity report the breakdown becomes 36.3% asian and 53.1% white. Considering white people maybe up like three quarters of the population in the US they're actually under represented at Google, ironically.

Diversity proponents seem to generally want every conceivable minority (like -women-) represented 50%, completely ignoring how the math doesn’t add up.

And if not everyone is at 50%, it’s obviously the fault of all the racist and sexist white men everywhere.
