<p>Of course racism and discrimination in the workplace still exists, but Asians are not the only ones who bear the brunt of it, nor do all Asians experience it.</p>
<p>The OP has put himself in the best possible position with that huge chip on his shoulder. If he is hired with his Asian name, he can pat himself on the back for REALLY being superior, as he is convinced that any Asian who achieves anything has done it by working so much harder than anyone else. If he is passed over for a job, he need never worry that the other candidate actually was the more qualified, because he knows he was passed over because he is Asian. If he ever receives an employment evaluation which is less than stellar, he can comfort himself with the fact that it is the unfairness of the system which is to blame. He has completely eliminated the need for introspection, honest assessments of his own strengths and weaknesses, or understanding of others’ talents, because he can always blame the successes of others- as well as his own shortcomings and failures- on racism.</p>
