The perception on its own is not enough, I agree. But I'm combining the perception with the fact that they are underrepresented in managerial positions as well as the fact that they're less likely to be given the kinds of experiences that are the precursors to those experiences despite being qualified for them on paper. And mentioning the perception is important because in a previous post you suggested that perhaps they don't want those higher positions. That doesn't seem to be the case if they're complaining about being passed over for those positions.Yeah, subjective perception of discrimination doesn't really mean fuck all in our current social climate. You'd have a case back in the 60's, but everyone and their gay lover claims that they're discriminated against, which includes white males.
So yeah, the fact that they're under represented in managerial positions could just as easily be a cultural phenomenon. In fact, its more likely the scenario, considering if there were systemic racism against Asians, then they wouldn't' be allowed to earn more than whites on average in the first place. Its a convenient place to set up a point where racism starts happening for Asians, but its completely different for every other race.
And I'm not sure what you mean by cultural phenomenon? Systemic racism need not manifest in the specific way you expect it to.
And yet those higher IQs don't translate into managerial or executive positions for Asians, I wonder why...@Kafir-kun I'll give you the last word, but on the other end it seems a little too convenient that the ranking of average income levels also correlates with the ranking of average population IQ. Namely, Asians at the top, Indians, whites in the middle, then Hispanics, then AAs. The same correlation also happens to pan out with respect to violent crime statistics and IQ....
Anyway, I guess we have derailed this thread enough. Cheers bruh.
