What rhetoric? Asians are being discriminated against, see the entire Harvard scandal. As well as corporate hiring policies. At no point in time did I say it was just by African Americans. I did reference a national series of events that involved African Americans because it allowed me to describe an anecdotal experience involving a corporate DEI director.

As far as African Americans holding anti semitic views, nearly a quarter of African Americans hold antisemitic views as opposed to 14% of the general population.

What have I said that is not "rational, open, and unbiased"? I was very clear that the DEI director experience was something I saw and I provided the context of when it occurred. Take your accusations elsewhere.

I'm not arguing that Asians are being discriminated against. It's obvious this is happening, and it's disgusting. I was commenting on your comment about Black Americans being the leading culprits of Asian hate crimes.

I admit, I was unaware of the skewed anti-Semitic views. Definitely will do further research.

Also, you know exactly the rhetoric I am speaking of.

you said I am spewing some sort of rhetoric. My comments were highlighting anti asian bias, factual african american anti semitism and an anecdotal experience I had regarding DEI. So again what rhetoric? I think you are either reading something in my statement that is not there or associating me with something else. I really am not sure what you mean. If you mean I am anti DEI then yes I am as I have only ever experienced negatives from it in both the way its handled and the way coworkers are treated.

"I was commenting on your comment about Black Americans being the leading culprits of Asian hate crimes."

Please reread my original post. I said nothing of the sort. I was referring to a single string of highly publicized events in the context of a DEI experience I was relaying.

Edit: I actually want to soften this response. I think you are probably coming from a genuine place and took offense in some way to what I wrote. I'm not going to apologize for my post as I see nothing wrong with it and it was not intended to confer bias against any race. With that said, you still took offence though which is your right. While I'm human and as such obviously have biases, none were intended in the post I was just relaying factual events that I experienced regarding DEI initiatives. Either way I wish you well.

I appreciate your edit. It's a sensitive topic and although we may try our hardest to be bias free, we are human, and we are fallible. I'll try to reread your initial post again.

Best wishes to you as well.
