Do I count as people of color?
I want to apply to the Roark spring week event in May, but it says "most underrepresented groups— BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), women, and first-generation college students."
I am half white, half Chinese, so I am pretty sure I don't count, but I want to make sure.
Lmao. Half white and half chinese? Bro you're double non-diversity.
PEMDAS yo. OP you're diversity by virture of double negative.
Exactly, why ask stupid, obvious questions multiple times as if the asnwer would be different.
No chance in hell.
Pls delete the word from your dictionary now on. With such mix, you are not even allowed to use “diversity”
Yes you are bipoc. I am too
You're a minority but not URM so you are nothing to them
Geez that's harsh
wouldn't hurt to apply. Are you good looking?
Applying when you clearly don't meet the qualifications reflects poorly on you... It's not like a lottery where you technically have a >0% chance of getting an offer if you apply lol. There's a human on the other end assessing the apps
You’re a double-undesirable.
Definitely apply - they can't prove you aren't any of those and you can interpret 'POC' to include Chinese if you want. The fact that people try to draw up imaginary lines by people's levels of melanin is ridiculous in the first place.
asians are definitely PoC
Why did this get ms? If you are asian, you are 100% a poc
They are, however, Universities and corporations do exhibit discriminatory practices against asians and indians so being of these ethnicities would not help you with recruiting.
Are you a "person" or a "people"?
They/Them
(non-binary)
that's how I read it.
Noob quetion but isn't mixed race/two or more races an option on most employment applications (where they don't ask you to specify) which would count as diversity?
Depends on your mix. Btw, if you have a "desirable" ethnicity, I would go for a Kamala Harris or Barack Obama and just put full the desirable one. Asians are at a big disadvantage and are as low or lower than whites on the diversity totem pole. Pretty sickening that race/sexuality has taken such an importance during recruiting, yet here we are.
Yeah it sucks because mixed people (I'm one) do have unique experiences in how they go through racial imposter syndrome which has been well documented (regardless of what mix you are). Sucks that we have to choose the one that puts us in a better situation and that mixed race as a whole (not by what the makeup is) can't be something that's valuable by companies as well as university admissions
For what it's worth, when I first started filling out college / job apps I used to put Pacific Islander instead of just Asian because I thought that was correct. I'm from Taiwan, so....technically an island in the Pacific. Think that might have helped me get into college...
This is actually genius. It 100% did. What school did you get accepted into?
Wharton lol
I like the cut of your jib.
Game the system hard. Apply and if anyone asks just say you're half Jewish half Pacific islander and if anyone asks further just say some Malaysian island as above poster did for Taiwan.
Lmao this is 100% a viable path if you feel you must apply as a diversity hire.
If they have a mixed race box tick that and be as ambiguous as possible.
He still won't get it because he's stoopid
Emphasize the "underrepresented" next time you struggle this.
If you have to even ask you should know the answer
Just identify as a womyn for the next few weeks and your race is now irrelevant :)
The correct term is "womxn" (pronounced wim-ex-in). I can't believe you didn't take the time to learn the language of diversity, equity and inclusivity - you must be a racist, transphobe, homophobe, fascist!! Until people start recognizing that all trans women are biological women, the patriarchy will control us all. (to continue just insert littany of _____phobe and ____ist to continue pointing out how "problematic" the world is
you sure youre not hispanic?
if anyone asks just say your moms boyfriend was hispanic
that would explain all the made in mexico nintendo handheld consoles in your house whilst growing up
Honestly who fking cares. Just put that you are. Race is just a social construct anyway. I've seen dumbass classmates that are 90% white and 10% hispanic put that they are a URM and get into HYPSM and top jobs. Just do it
is this a troll?
