True, and guess what it happens in the same time while white men has all the privileges.

Weird. Don't you think? :)

Hey great, I (asian man) get to work in tech.

Do I get to raise interest rates?

How about being a credible candidate for US President?

Can I pay money to fuck kids and spend only 5 years in jail?

These are fair points, though outside of a discussion focused on expanding access to tech.

Agreed. I was focused on the parent commenters point that Asian Men have been successful, despite being the time of "White Privilege."

We (asian men) are well represented in tech--even when I was a kid, MIT specifically said they did not consider Asian as a underrepresented ethnic group.
