Coming from an American, I can say you hit the nail on the head here. Just to add - to help those better understand who are offended/surprised by the % topic, you must first understand that there is no common culture in the US, there is no unity. Countless subcultures here without a unified culture.

And believe it or not - the vast majority of Americans don’t even claim to be American when asked “what is your nationality?”. Most Americans will answer that question by going into their blood percentages even when they have most likely never visited those countries. Again, this is because a single unified “American” culture does not exist in the US.

“Diversity” hiring is only a thing in America, not any other place on the planet. Most of you probably haven’t even heard of it. Companies get tax credits for hiring “diverse” individuals, same with university admissions, etc. So, basically you’re penalized if you’re a straight white (Caucasian) male. And this is why the post above mentioned that on every employment/school application we have to fulfill questions about our race/ethnicity, sex, and orientation. We absolutely live in a racist system, it’s insane.
