Indians are technically Asians, just not the kind we associate with the identifier.
“Indians are technically Asians, just not the kind we associate with the identifier.”
But they originate from the subcontinental asia. So... breaking Asia apart along the northen convergent boundry of the Indian-Australian plate (ie the Himalaya’s), like snapping a stale pecan sandie in half...
Asians are about 5% of the population. Americans of German ancestry are about 13% and those of Irish ancestry are about 10%. Are they making sure those groups are represented in the cabinet? Or does Biden having Irish ancestry mean that Irish-Americans don't need anyone else to represent them?
The obsession with race is absurd. In any case most of the work of the departments is done lower down, by the permanent staff...but for the last 50 years they have probably been selected and promoted largely for identity rather than competence.
