Thanks for your anecdotal experience. Your experience seems to bear out this article in that, in general, Asians value technical competency and success whereas their Western counterparts — particularly women — value likeability and personality traits.
It’s funny, because my high school aged daughter was just at a camp and made friends with a group of about half a dozen Asian girls. Just last night she remarked they were all very nice, and she bonded well with them, but she was surprised and specifically mentioned that they lacked real personality, such as a lack of smiling, not showing happiness, excitement, or other emotions. Really, a little culture shock to her.
My question is, is this really to be considered bias? What if it is really true that some cultures are simply... different? What if some cultures place more value on different traits? So what? Isn’t that why different cultures exist?
But the real point of this article I suppose is to demonstrate that liberals love free speech — but only if you agree with them. Liberal hate discrimination — unless it helps them. Liberals are open-minded and tolerant — as long as you hold positions similar to theirs.
It shouldn’t be considered bias, but it is.
An admin who’s technically competent who has teaching ability is worth five with perfect technical acumen.
Extracting value from the tool is the goal. Asians aren’t known for their empathy.
Then again, neither are Norwegians.
