All Our Girlfriends Are Asian

All our girlfriends are Asian? Hey everyone - I’ve been feeling paranoid about something recently and wanted to know if I’m overthinking it. I’m a white M and most of the friends I grew up with and went to high school are too, except 1. We’re still very close but moved all across the country for our jobs and life. Recently, we’ve decided to have a little reunion and bring our girlfriends, but I realized we have a not to subtle trend in that they are all Asian. There’s 5 girlfriends in total, they’ve never met each other. I don’t know how this happened, it’s just a coincidence as far as I know. We don’t have a pact or anything. My question is, do we warn them? Are you all engineers? Women in engineering are much more likely to be Asian. Yeah something like that - mostly math type backgrounds

A Reddit user asks whether he and his white male friends should warn their Asian girlfriends that all five girlfriends will be meeting each other. A commenter points out that the friends are probably engineers, and the original poster confirms they mostly have math-related backgrounds, turning an apparent strange coincidence into a stereotype-based explanation.
