Right, the goal is to stop preferring white people over everyone else.

What about having no preference based on skin color?

Your second point is a straw man. I did not argue for that

Oh you didn't want for asians to join whites as the non-desirables? We're just collateral damage?

Look, I get what you're trying to say, that white people have been preferences for so long that we need to even the playing field. But clearly, putting arbitrary requirements for race for positions in school or jobs is racist. It's shocking that the right is battling the left to not prefer one race over another.

Would be nice, but we have a whole lot of innate human, societal and historical biases we are still working through before we get there.

Literally whatever you are saying after my quote about you straw manning me is again… just a straw man and putting words in my mouth.

Whatever personal grievances you have you can stop taking them out on a random stranger.

He's not really straw manning you, you argue the point is to stop preferring white people and he's replying that its actually harming Asians.

Also, white women have been the biggest beneficiaries of DEI policies by a mile, so the goal does not seem to be stopping the preference of white people

Great, those are actual discussions about where some of these things have failed we can have but when he claims I’m arguing for discrimination against Asians that’s a straw man.

Especially when the original comment was discussing DEI as discrimination against white men.

Idk what else he should have taken away from your response lol, you are clearly inferring your support for the ideals being pushed and he is pointing out that those ideals have led to harming Asians. He's being accusatory, I agree, but its hard to have a discussion when you wave it away as a straw man without acknowledging it

It’s just weird whiplash to have him start off about how this harms the white man somehow and then immediately and aggressively switch to Asians and start arguing with himself.

Maybe we need to stop inferring people’s positions which are probably nuanced and complicated based on what we think they should be because of social media.

Just a thought.
