It's entirely possible for both to be right: different companies have different DEI policies. At Dropbox from 2015-2019 we had 4 diversity categories, from most to least desirable:

* Double diverse: Black or Latin + female

* diverse: white or Asian female, or Black or Latin male.

* standard: white male

* Negatively diverse: Asian male

So it definitely is the case that asian males are even more undesirable than white males at some companies. I can attest to that myself. But each company is different, some categorize Asians as diverse.

Great grandparent said nothing about "companies", but "life", so the fact that different companies may discriminate in different ways is irrelevant to their point, is it not?

The entire context of this thread is bias in employment at Google. If the parent comment wants to clarify what they're talking about, I'll let them do it rather than have other speak on their behalf.
