How white are Asian scientists and academics on the DEI spectrum of skin colors?

When you come across many of the statements from the followers of the skin color ideology (DEI, CRT, White Supremacy etc.) it is most of the times not clear whether Asians are considered white skinned or not. Where to they fit in on the spectrum of skin colors? At least this is my impression. Do they intentionally leave this subject ambiguous and why?

I suspect as long as the Asians as a minimum tolerate the skin color ideologues, then they will be spared.

We certainly know that the group of brown and black skinned persons are preferred by these ideologues and demagogues! While White skinned individuals are summarily demonized!
