This is Oppression Olympics, plain and simple. If APIs are 6% of the population and somewhere between 53–77% have no APIs on their boards, that means 23–47% DO have APIs on their boards. Of course it depends on how many individuals are on these boards in the 1st place, but it’s nowhere near the scandal (if any) you are trying to make out of this. Also look at APIs generally preferred professions and level of civic involvement. These things aren’t one-sided.

YES, on average SE Asians and PIs have worse educational outcomes, etc. compared to most E Asians. They came with less privileged backgrounds to begin with. Being in America doesn’t instantly fix all your woes — woes going back countless generations. Why does the Far Left always seem to expect that? Are you trying to make people like Mitt Romney correct in his slander of Lefties as expecting others to fix everything for them and give them everything for free? Are things better “back home” or in the countries where our ancestors came from?

If people come to the U.S. with limited language skills, well then they have limited language skills which they’d better work upon ASAP. I came to this country with limited English skills. And you know what? I didn’t expect the rest of the world to accommodate me (although shamefully many of my compatriots do) because I know that English is the language you have to learn here. I didn’t see it as some kind of discrimination — not everyone in the world speaks Portuguese. And yet the way you write it, people who cannot speak English are somehow discriminated unfairly against by society at large. If you cannot speak English, you cannot communicate well — it’s not that complicated.

This ideology of more marginalized=more deserving makes for some pretty twisted logic.

Are things perfect in the U.S.? No, but they are much worse pretty much anywhere else. The U.S. is a better run, less corrupt, more efficient country than almost anywhere in Asia, Latin America, or certainly Africa. Maybe we should be grateful for once.
