I absolutely hate diversity programs

I'm a poor Asian male with immigrant parents, grinded my ass off to get into a target, and now see rich 'latino' (white) males and white/asian women from $60k a year boarding schools get into diversity programs.

The people who run these diversity programs should be ashamed. I bet it makes the HR clowns feel good to keep taking away opportunities from lower income / middle class nondiverse kids who grind day and night to get a shot and hand them to the kid who went to Andover or Exeter.

I empathize with you OP. If it's any consolation, the public HS to Target kids always tend to be the smartest people that I work with.

 

Yeh it’s tough bro. We have no choice but to try our best, don’t think about it that’s what I did this cycle, you’ll just get spiteful and be unproductive. Forgive, But don’t forget about this bro. I may be talking out of my ass rn, but as soon as I climb up to make any hiring decisions, I’m sticking the finger to hr and pushing for the Asian kid bro. Like it’s just a constant stream of hate for being undesirable and having to work harder for less. I’m so sick of it and I will actively try to push my future diversity hire subordinates out if they are genuinely there cause of a diversity program. 

 

I know I'm about to get MS'd for this, but it's hard to feel good about voting for Trump when all I see on Twitter are white nationalist, insanely racist, and anti-asian/immigration posts from his supporters. Maybe its Elon's fault for turning Twitter into cesspool of racism, but the stuff I've seen become completely normalized on that app has actively pushed me away from voting for Trump. 

 

What prominent supporters of Trump are anti-asian immigration? Like can you actually name anyone or are you just seeing randos post about it to their 100 followers that are mostly bots and choosing to interact with it? The feed is designed to deliver you more of what it thinks you're interested in, so this seems more indicative of what you're searching for than what's popular. Most Trump supporters (and voters in this country in general) are anti-illegal immigration more than anything of which a very small percentage is Asian (majority Chinese working w/ cartels). Immigrants from most Asian nations don't coincide with increased crime and poverty like other nationalities, including the illegal populations, and actually build businesses + generally increase communal property values so there's no reason the average person would be against them. Expressing discontent over illegal immigrants in general for being leeches on the American taxpayer system and bringing record amounts of crime into communities that were otherwise stable is not white nationalist, it's common sense.
