But what about smartest and brightest engineers makes them good managers which is a totally different skill set? And if they're so great why don't they found their own companies like Jensen Huang?

Quite a few billion dollar startups are founded by Indian Americans. Check the data by National Foundation of American Policy.

Wow thats some racist thoughts you have there.

Did you forget the recent revelation about Chinese Americans not getting promoted due to racism???

Racism is for sure keeping some Asian Americans down. But overall, US is still a very tolerant country. Try climbing the corporate ladder in Japan or Europe. And in some instances, immigrants are actually more prejudiced than white Americans.

I guess discussions on this forum tend to move in circles.

Either that or I'm a very boring person who really only wants to say the same things. Might as well just keep circulating my older comments instead of writing new ones.

It’s a legitimate question. Why is that Chinese Americans have similar STEM backgrounds as their Indian colleagues, and yet remain under represented in executive positions.

Is it all through nepotism, racism, caste favoritism, or it’s because many have better English skills, better communication skills and ability to manage up. They do have an advantage in these areas.

Intel may have been f*k up by Renduchinta, but Google, Microsoft, Adobe all seems to be doing pretty well.
My observations:
1. Cultural factors and overlap, e.g. tendency to bullshit / talk things up skill. In this regard, generally speaking, indians > white americans > east asians
2. Many indians look up to America / white people - this unspoken flattery does have some effect. When hiring for a junior manager to sit under you, at a shallow level an 'ass kisser' does give more of a sense of comfort (trust?) than someone who seems more cold/independent minded.
