Unless the goal is to make political hay of asians getting assaulted on subways, in which case asians are "people of color" who are "victims of white supremacy."

Yellow is not a color? I always assumed that Asians are included in PoC.

So are Black and Indigenous. The point is to lump Asians into "other" and only pay lip service to their inclusion.

What we learned in school decades ago is no longer considered correct by some people. Also logic is not a strong point of DEI people, for them math is racist [0] and logic is the basis of most math, so it is also racist.

Also white is a color and white people are not even white, but pink [1].

Technically, white is all colors.

Side issue, but I grew up in Sweden thinking asians have yellow skin.

After living and working with asians for decades in the Bay area, I have yet to meet a yellow one. To my eye, they're on the same white(pink)-brown-black spectrum as the rest of humanity.

Well yeah...

White people are pale to darkly tanned

Natives Americans are brown, not red

Black people are brown, not black, some not even very brown

Indian people are shades of brown too, and yet can be far darker than "black" people.

Japanese people are brown, not yellow

None of the colloquial color terms for races are accurate when you sit down and think about it.

The one time it might have been accurate is redheads are often pale enough to be white, so of course we call them gingers/redheads.

It's all a bit silly.

It seems that some Asians are already over-represented in certain fields, like sciences. I heard somewhere that being Chinese makes your chances of admission worse.
