In the Asian American community, what do the words diversity and equality really mean? Kenny Xu joins me to discuss the effects of diversity promotion programs such as Affirmative Action and the race quotas at major universities like Harvard. While these programs are meant to help many communities, are they inadvertently hurting others, perpetuating hateful stereotypes along the way?
Understanding the various views on diversity and inclusion programs is vital to developing systems that are beneficial to all. I challenge you in this conversation to think about how the issues the Asian American community faces relate to your own. After listening, do you think there’s a valid argument against diversity policies for workplaces and universities, or is this a necessary tradeoff for equalizing the inequalities we face?
