During my internship at K in the Southwest, I always observed that interns formed groups based on race even at the dinner table. I was the only one from my race and it was so tough to get into a group

Op, I'm sorry this is your experience. Join APIN and other diversity groups in your office and find more like minded people. I'm happy to talk if you want, just post a burner. This cliqueness is atypical for millennials, usually something seen with middle aged Indian/Asian men. It might just be your office but I'm more than happy to try to help you navigate. Let me know!

Again that's very very atypical. I'm a millennial too, Indian and a girl. I've had some moronic questions come my way and by and large all my friends are from across the country and of varied ethnicities. I'm only trying to help- Are you active in those groups? Have you tried to meet people who aren't interns?

What quotas pwc 1? Please explain

He's saying you're basically getting affirmative action. He's just being one of those white assholes who rejected the notion of white privilege. Gotta say you're kinda slow on the uptake OP.

Are you white or Asian OP?

Waking up under the tap, I don't know @k1 case but one can't reject that these days is a very favorable environment for minorities

He sounds international... prob Asian. Hard for most Asian internationals without western exposure in their younger years to assimilate to American culture. A lot of socialization involves American sports, tv, films and politics.

Pwc 2 So you expect me to know the nitty gritty of American social fabric? All I will say is there were groups of tables for W,B and H and I'm neither of them.

P1, if anything, Asian men are having the opposite experience. We are not deemed a minority group in the eyes of recruiters. I.e. Start program, everyone not white but Asian men are allowed to apply. On top of that, in ivy leagues, many candidates with amazing resumes get rejected, in terms of their academics and extra curricular/leadership representation in school. But you'll prob reject that too because you want to be the victim.

No OP, I don't, it's just the reality of it. Not your fault.

In Rome do as the Romans do

Please don't say western exposure. Use the right term American. There's so much in common between Europe, Britain and Asia than America.
