And Asians are more successful than white people on average. Strange that there is no “Asian Privilege”

Well when Asians are discriminated against in university admissions and now even when searching for a job (at least in the case of Asian males), exactly what kind of privilege do Asians really have?

Asian males are generally, without knowing them, considered to be smart, hardworking, nonviolent, helpful, family and work oriented, and stable. And they likely (I would guess) on average be more likely to be raised by both parents, who model school and work and family to them. So, in terms of what is termed as priviledge...theres that.

I read more than once on diversity related posts or comments that East-Asian are considered privileged or even... white.

That shows the real motive is not the one stated. This diversity stuff is a power game used by some minorities go get some advantages for themselves. They do not care about the minorities that can achieve things by themselves, with education and hard work.

By which minorities and to achieve what?

The comment is divisive and conspiratorial. The strategy is to create more division among groups and reduce trust.

Right, because splitting people up into arbitrary groups based on melanin levels and ancestral migration does a world of good in promoting trust and good will.
