Does the 'Bamboo Ceiling' Shut Asian Americans Out of Top Jobs?

Well, does a Milk Ceiling shut European and American ex-pats out of top jobs in China, Japan, and Korea? Certainly we&#x27;re just as underrepresented there as they are here.<p>What if we stopped expecting every single group to be identical and perfectly proportionately represented in every aspect of society? How about instead of assuming that evil and racism and prejudice lurks behind every single stat, that it&#x27;s possible other factors are at play, with each situation being a little bit different depending on the individuals and their actions?<p>I&#x27;d say this - for each of these claims of unequal treatment and representation, would it be okay for White people to similarly look for under-representation impacting their own group, and advocate for action and redress? If not, why not?
