> Asians people are over-represented in Silicon Valley

Some Asians are foreigners, hired by SV firms at lower-than-market salaries. They may be hired because they're less expensive (because they need sponsorship so badly). These types of people make this a much more complicated analogy.

> yet I don't hear anyone demanding we hire less Asian people

Affirmative action policies sometimes do impact Asian applicants, making it less likely for them to be hired.
