WASHINGTON, -- US Asian women face more bias and discrimination in the tech industry comparing to their white peers, said an article published by The Hill on Tuesday.

According to a latest study analyzing the experiences of women of color in the tech industry, the article said that "east Asian women were 42 percent more likely than white women to report being demeaned, disrespected, stereotyped and left out of the loop and treated like they are invisible at work."

Meanwhile, women of Southeast Asian descent were 54 percent more likely than white women to report being given low-level work below their skill level and reported experiencing the "forever foreigner" stereotype, meaning facing questions about whether they're "really" American, it added.
