Indians do much better in SV/tech senior management positions than Chinese.

Also, what does assimilate mean in an American context? It’s not like America really has a strong well defined culture in the first place, it’s been like ever since the country was founded.

Please be careful about making generalizations based on race - they're generally incorrect/unprovable and rarely provide any value to a conversation. You can rephrase this to be "I've seen more Indians do better..."

Actually it's pretty easily provable, you just need diversity numbers.

Doesn't explain the "why" though.

>>ryania+x1
Huh? This is quantifiable. It’s no big mystery to anyone who works in tech, and is not saying anything about abilities, just outcomes.

I've experienced the opposite in general, but I've seen some huge outliers in both directions on both sides.

See my example of assimilation to my reply to "ryanianian" in the thread below.

>>ryania+x1
It's not a generalization, there's public data for this. Just take a sample of the top N SV companies, go to their Management/Staff page, and do a count. (note, we're talking senior management, not middle management)

I do have some ideas about why, but it requires going into some sociological analysis. (note: I'm a minority so I speak from that experience).

>>ryania+x1
This is an open secret, at least for us minorities.

>>seanmc+(OP)
I suspect it's because they speak English natively
