As a white person in the bay area, am I considered diversity for sf banking?

White people are a minority now in bay area (overtaken by asians).

Can i apply to diversity programs in SF tech banking?  Will I be considered diversity?  Technically I am a minority.

OP is joking but it’s also not like he/she is wrong lol. If you’ve actually ever been to the Bay you’d know Asians are the majority. I’m black and in my building haven’t seen any other white or black person. Everyone is either Asian or Indian. Kind of shocking when I first moved.
