In my experience, it's a reflection of the organization. Shitty workplaces treat people with a little less leverage shitty.

I have also observed in some places that in some ways, diverse management structure is worse for some workers. White managers tend to be ignorant of subdivisions of asian society and treat all contractors or sponsored employees with aloof and impersonal management styles.

Could you give examples of subdivisions of Asian society that a manager should take into consideration?

One glaring example that comes to mind from many years ago was a borderline abusive boss, who was an older chinese national, that treated younger ethnic chinese staff born in the US or other places very poorly. His mindset was that they were coddled, soft and lazy. The company HR people addressed the situation inappropriately as an interpersonal conflict because it didn't fit their notion of discrimination, which is what it was.

End of the day, it was a situation that was demeaning and awful for my colleagues who dealt with it, and they all left the company. The company no longer exists, but it was an example of an organization that focuses on the letter of the law and fostered a culture that ultimately hurt it.
