Correction: Asians are over-represented by 383%, not the 483% I first claimed. Their numbers are 483% of what you'd expect if representation was proportional, and I forgot to subtract 100% from that.
- np_tedious 6y agoThus Asians are definitely underrepresented in leadership vs employee population, but still overrepresented vs general population. I'd be interested to see how this chops up by immigration status, years in country, and English proficiency. I guess then we'd be in even less PC waters, but it's quite clear PhD -> h1b crowd is quite different from Asian Americans in a lot of ways, and I'd have to imagine this is one of them
- rbecker 6y ago> Thus Asians are definitely underrepresented in leadership vs employee population Only slightly - the graph in the article shows Asians are ~87% represented in leadership roles, compared to their (over-represented) numbers in tech. Meaning, using the article's own numbers, a random Asian is 5.3x as likely to be in tech as a random white, and 3.9x as likely to be in tech leadership.
