> Gifted programs are "unacceptably white"

Curious if they're also "unacceptably asian" - the author doesn't seem to think so, or at least didn't feel the need to say so.

Asians are white when it's unhelpful to the narrative for them to be a minority. See also "underrepresented minority", which translates to: non-Asian minority.

Hate to suggest this but I was wondering if I was diversity hire lol, since my skills are definitely subpar but I still got in somehow. I can do soft skills but yeah. -- anyway I'll take it, I need it.
