[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is constant discussion about Asian kids doing so well academically. You can look at any school or grade and almost always the top performers are Asians. However this does not translate proportionately in corporate world. The top leadership in almost every field is dominated by whites.  Is it because of biases, or Asians (despite of doing well academically) lack some key skills and creativity needed to advance higher in corporate hierarchy. Is it just a matter of time and going to catch up in near future? Or these kids seriously lack the skills to reach the top of the ladder.

You can say exactly the same thing about women. Almost always the top school performers are girls. The top leadership in almost every field in the corporate world is dominated by men. Is it because of biases, or women (despite doing well academically) lack some key skills and creativity needed to advance higher in the corporate hierarchy?

Or, in other words:  good grief.[/quote]
