More qualified women (and people with "ethnic names" and other discriminators) often get passed over for jobs or promotions by people who are less qualified, but have a preferred social stereotype. So the idea that qualification or merit is going to result in commensurate representation across the board doesn't work. People who self-identify as Asian may be the best qualified for the position, but it doesn't hurt that it also reinforces their social stereotype. Asians are actually significantly over-represented in STEM, and make more money than any other group.
