This uses old data. You have proved nothing. Asian have the same barriers in corporate America. Your articles are coming. Blacks at elite schools do better than other blacks because they are still black. I don’t know why this concept is so hard for you to understand?  But there are many more black senior managers in corporate America than Asian senior managers. Asian CEOs outside of Asian companies are not common and many Asian companies have Anglo CEOs. 
[b]There are now a number of blacks (mostly ivy alum) that are CEOs and a bunch of senior managers. [/b]Maybe you should examine some companies instead pulling up an article based on old date. [/quote]

Can you name some? [/quote]

Still waiting for names, especially ivy URM alum ceos. [/quote]

CEO of Merck, TIAA, Amex, Former Xerox, Vista Equity and lots of senior execs and professionals [/quote]

Ok that’s 4.  Four out of literally thousands of US corporations gets you <1% of CEOs. And which ones are Ivy URM alums?

And who are these, “...and lots of senior execs and professionals“?  [/quote]

No it’s not four. I just picked fortune 100 companies that were top of mind (I don’t walk around knowing all the black CEOs in America. I thought of Vista because the CEO paid for all the students loans for a graduating class at an HBCU recently.  There are many other companies and I can not list them all for you. The level below is often where I see black in public companies. Again I can not name them all for you. I am sorry you are angry at all black people. Having said the foregoing, I really only can think of one Asian CEO at a fortune 100, I think Pepsi but until
Now I never thought about it so I am sure there are more. Can you name any?[/quote]

When I googled, I had trouble finding many black CEOs. 
I am not in the line of work where I have a need to know who the corporate ceos are, blacks, Asians, or whites. 
But the thing about blacks is that they have been in the USA for nearly 200 years whereas many Asians are relatively recent arrivals. I think if you check Asian  countries, you will not find many white or black ceos over on that side. [/quote]

I posted a list  (a little dated) above. First, Asian companies do have European CEOs and we could include Africa if you include Asian (I think this is stupid). Second,  I do deal with senior management at work and there is often a black person senior manager in publicly traded companies. Blacks were slaves for the first 200 years so you really can not count that time. Your argument about outcomes works against all minorities and women.  It also works against non legacies.  Legacies often have great outcomes because they have a network that opens many doors and creates opportunities (no matter the race).  Outcomes are also best for kids that go to Harvard with a fully stocked trust fund or a ready made job.  If you do get to Harvard you realize about the third day that you probably will never be as rich as some of your classmates or be as connected not matter how smart.  Not everyone can invent Facebook and even if you do, you may be pushed out. [/quote]
