Indeed. I'm Asian. There's a lot of Asian men in tech. I don't see many Asian men on speaking panels. And I don't really care.

In that case, I will take it upon myself to be offended on your behalf. No need to thank me.

This is a point I wish more people would make. There are a huge number of Asians in tech, and we are grossly underrepresented at tech conferences. But no one even thinks to look at diversity numbers there. I've seen discussion about racial diversity for black and even Hispanic people, but nobody thinks twice about Asians (which are even fewer in number in the general population).

Such is life.

Actually...You should care...Americans are fucking racist, but they think being racists with asians it's not trully racism. ( just look at movies like gran torino )
