       to fill more administrative roles.

       > East Asian women, for example, were 42 percent more likely
       than white women to report being demeaned and disrespected,
       stereotyped, left out of the loop and treated like they were
       invisible. South Asian women reported they were pitted against
       one another in the workplace and encountered the “forever
       foreigner” stereotype, where their competency and language
       skills were questioned.

       women to report feeling forced to be a provider of emotional
       support in the workplace in instances when other colleagues are
       upset, for example. They also said they felt policed into
       traditionally feminine roles, like administrative tasks or even
       physical housekeeping.

       > South Asian women reported diminished perceptions of their
       competence and commitment post-children at a level of 17
       percentage points higher than white women, according to the

       they would one day have too many children to work.

       > “South Asian women from India and Pakistan super interestingly
       dealt with the assumption that they will have too many
       children,” Williams said. Those numbers were more salient with
       Latina women in previous studies she has worked on.
       >
       > On the whole, women of color in tech have their work called
       into question more often than white women, and survey
       respondents felt they often had to work harder than their peers.

       > “They literally have to be better because their successes are
       discounted and their mistakes are interpreted as a lack of
       talent,” Williams said. “Whereas white men’s mistakes are much
       more likely to be written off as just a fluke.”

       cancer.” She said a second doctor told her, without performing a

       did not have breast cancer.

       are the first racial group to experience cancer as the leading
       cause of death.

       civilized. That's how she sounds. It has nothing to do with
       race? Then why say go back to your country. And the other person
       protecting her was being an idiot. He was defending racism, so
       he's racist, too.
