I'm South Asian as well and I find your attitude a little arrogant. As pointed out in the book "The other one percent" (Sanjoy Chakravorty) Indian immigrants of my generation have benefited from a couple of events we didn't have to fight hard for, namely the end of colonialism in South Asia and the civil rights wins in USA, as well as a stable and privileged background that many Indians lack access to. To varying extents the same is true for other Asian immigrants as well. Many non-Asian people "work hard" and take care of family, we are not unique in these respects and these self-aggrandizing stories are not the complete explanation for our demographic's income or our model minority myth.

Take the best and brightest in a country of a billion, move them to another country. Wonder at why they are still doing pretty well compared to the local population which is average. Also wonder why their children are doing well despite the fact that they inherited their parents DNA. True their home countries local population might not equal their adopted country's local population in their aptitude. Immigrants make the adopted upper classes even richer, obviously they get a small piece of that. Their children inherit their genes, and they get the benefit of being born to relatively well to do parents. Obviously they often do well as well, if their parents don't burn them out. You want Asian CEOs, then Asian investors should invest in American companies and make Asians CEOs of those companies. Its that simple. At the end the corporate structure is defined by investor money. That money belongs to people of certain races who trust their race to run their company... and if not their race then white people -- and this goes for Arabs and Asians. The rather have their companies run by whites (which often includes the other whites that must not be named) that know other whites that can make things happen.
