The "minorities" in this context are URMs (other than chinese, koreans, Japanese or Indians) who need to be incentivized to try out for TJ.

Japanese are actually not a significant portion of the TJ population at all. It's Korean with some Chinese among the East Asians, and the rest (the majority of Asians) are actually South Asian.

Possibly.. I assume most of the japanese ethnicity folks in the country have been here for at least 2-3 generations and their attitudes, behavior and accomplishments have tended towards the "mean" so their level of representation would likely be about the same as that of Whites..

I'm not estimating or guessing here. There are probably less than 20 students of any Japanese descent in the school at any given time, and most of them have only one Japanese parent - typically a white father and a Japanese mother.

Yep.. The "Millionaire Next Door" talks about how first gen immgirants are wealthier than the locals and over 2-3 generations their progeny's abilities, attitudes and wealth tends towards the population mean. That's what's happening here. Same thing on Linkedin. Most of the top, second and third level tech jobs are held by Indians. Not many chinese/koreans/japanese. THis is probably because the supply of first gen resources from India keeps coming unlike from Korea/China/Japan. Intersting demographic study to say the least.

There are a huge number of Koreans, and some Chinese. East Asian population at TJ has been around 25-30% for the better part of 20 years. It's the Indians whose numbers have gone through the roof, to where they're now nearly 40% of the school.

It varies year to year, but generally speaking the population is 55-60% male.
