That's so strange. According to Shanley Kane and Anil Dash, the Valley is dominated by racist white men who systematically exclude all outgroups.

Clearly, this article is just the white supremacists and their power structures writing puff pieces to hide the slavery lurking within the black heart of the Valley?

Progressivism is a low-evidence ideology, but a high status one due to its dominance of universities. From its high ground in academia, it is also invading tech. But yeah, it's mostly wrong.

> as a 19-year-old junior at SJSU studying computer science, Leu said many non-Asians don't appreciate "the Asian culture, where there is a deep work ethic that America hasn't really bought into yet."

Checks GDP per Capita[1]. I believe she meant "some Americans don't appreciate the Asian culture, where some Asians have a deep worth ethic that some Americans haven't bought really bought into yet."

""" Tech companies, Lewis said, "do not want to employ Americans. They import labor from overseas, pushing for H-1B visas. Check the job boards. They basically say, 'H-1B Visa. Americans need not apply.' """

Can anyone point to a few examples of this? I've never seen it.

Look guize, us Asian men don't count in the diversity quota. In fact it works against us. We retain all the 'privilege' narrative-based negative points in Progressive demonology as white men, plus we gain a few systematic discrimination points from University affirmative action programs, etc. Whenever 'diversity' is mentioned, we are either invisible or to be implicitly counted among white men.

Here[1] is a PDF from less than two years ago that gets into detail, with a number of examples.

You're confusing progressivism with postmodern feminism. The purpose of the latter is not to make any sort of worthwhile progress, but to fuel its followers' various complexes.
