Actually, no, they really don't outside of some heavily asian precincts in northern california.  
 
"Holding corporate power" is also a matter of definition.    The number of Fortune 500 CEOs who are Asian hasn't climbed dramatically, for example.   http://www2.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/diversity_among_ceos.html

No one is denying there are more Asians in the US and that some Asians make good entrepreneurs.  But running corporate America, they are not.

Let's start with Governor Bobby Jindal and Governor Nikki Haley, neither of whom are current or soon-to-be former governors of California.[/quote]

then let's list all the Asian senators, and especially those who lead the most important House and Senate committees.  Don't forget the various Senate leader and House speakers who have been Asian.   Next, let us not forget the various Asian serious presidential candidates and VP running mates.    And of course all the other governors who came before Jindhal and Haley.   I actually lived in Washington state when Gary Locke was Gov., and he was a fine governor.     But, that was a decade ago ....[/quote]
