There were plenty of people making a big deal, what a joke. They formed a group Stop AAPI Hate, there were statements by prominent politicians such as Gary Locke, the political process doesn’t mean crap, it’s rigged to maintain a certain order and power structure.
Not quite. Ppl these days, let alone indians dont get jobs by walking into a workplace and asking for a job boomer style.
US political scene won't do anything... They have already done nothing despite 2 years of China propping Russia into becoming the 4th largest economy in the world, despite Anglo oaths to crash the Russian economy as revenge for Ukraine war...
Now that I think about it, it does make sense why I saw so much title inflation when it comes to Indians in particular. Why they always call themselves xxx manager even though they have shown they can't even do the basics. A lot of companies inflate titles so you could be vice president without having any actual basic nevermind managing experience. Then you can go to another company that doesn't know that and people will never find out since you are managing people but never doing any actual work.
Hmmm, it was true at least 7 years ago but I guess now things have changed. Having worked quite a while in a local western engineering firm, most of the workers have to be competent in order to maintain their placement but those that excel like me and another guy from south China have to perform consistently well and at the top to ensure that our positions are not in question. I am not saying that an Indian cannot excel but simply bullshitting without producing results regardless of race means that that person can easily be made redundant if they don’t perform. I noticed that many engineering firms, western or not where I am in, will only last if they have the right degree of competency along with pragmatism along with making sure that they are enough senior staff is around to prevent a brain drain. From this, I can sort of see why many of these Indian type sales men people never make it beyond the interview stage, at least where I am standing. They would never make it to the manager level regardless of how impressive their resume is (especially if the firm doesn’t need one) and they almost never seem to perform the most basic task in the company which they almost always seem to avoid at all cost.
If you're an Asian man, it's a different ball game; again from my experience in the finance and medical world of the anglosphere; from day 1 you have a target on your back and are expected to be competant to such an exacting degree and under more scrutiny that is not imposed on white workers.
Just a question - did you grow up in a western country or did you emigrate at a later age (e.g. late high school or university)?
Potentially attempting a Saudi Arabia to extract more favorable terms from China. Will need to wait and see what type of leader he turns out to be.
My background is 华侨, Overseas Chinese so i grew up with an Aussie accent, inflection and speech which definitely helps in accessibility...until they see my Asian face and my Asian name and see me talking to white women. You can make yourself 'useful' or competant which is the bare minimum for any job, but no white person ever had to deal with bamboo ceilings or being targeted simply for being Asian. An Asian man in a workplace is an easy target as a scapegoat or simply a target for being human, and most other workers are just glad that someone else is the target and not them.
