So stereotypes and racism is OK on HN, as long as the victims are Asian?

asians aren't mentioned anywhere in the article. maybe you're the one being biased here?

Got it, so racism against Asians is the go-to now /s

The argument isn't against Asians, it's in favor of other groups.

We don't discriminate against asian people, just their problematic culture.

These days asians don't count towards diversity for some reason

Asians don't count as minorities. We privilege now!

I have no doubt this'll be flagged and removed from HN but before it does, I just want to say I think it's interesting how adjustments are made to move against high percentage of Asian Americans in certain environments but really no one does the same when other non-white groups dominate other situations.
