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.
