The OKCupid data science team released some interesting data on this stuff a long time ago (but still interesting and relevant) that backs up your experience that Asian males have it tough. You have to head to the archives to find the articles - "How your race affects the messages you get": https://web.archive.org/web/20140728212935/http://blog.okcup...


The data was so interesting that they removed most posts related to race from their blog. I genuinely still wonder why.


Because humans today, especially the cyber-anglosphere, have a lot of issues about race and its often easier to avoid talking about it than to risk offending one group or another.


Match.com bought OKC and cleaned up the PR to remove unhappy thoughts.


It's bad for business if anyone knows the truth.


Companies don't pay employees based on "what they're worth to the company". Just like with other goods and services, the market dictates the price.

So, companies pay what they can to compete for talent in the market. This meant that in high-competition markets like SV, the price (for engineering talent) was very high.

If now the market dynamics have shifted by not limiting supply to the SV area, then you would SV companies to pay LESS for the same engineering talent. So, if you argue that people should be paid the same no matter where they live, then you should also be prepared for salaries for many engineers to fall.


It will take years for markets to even out. Think SV vs rural Alabama. Paying market rate for the talent is table stakes. And I do agree, there will be less incentive to pay SV rates, so engineers living in SV will have to work even harder to demonstrate in the interviews that they are worth the money. Interesting times are coming.
