The most insidious result of being
discriminated against is that the
victims may actually begin to believe that they are inferior. I used to
be such a victim. I would NOT have passed the following true or false tests
15 years ago, because I didn’t have the right info. Try this test below
so that you’ll get the right info and realize how much YOU’ve been
discriminated.

True & False Tests:
Statistics show that AsAms apparently face the lowest glass ceiling in
workplaces,
including private industries, universities and federal government. Could
there be subtler explanations which reveal that there is NO discrimination?

If you answered false to all 4, you have a perfect score. Here are the
facts that those without the perfect score, not be aware of.
facts that those without the perfect score, not be aware of.
To Q1:
False. The percentage of Asian Americans with business degrees is
85% HIGHER than the national average. Although many of us have
engineering or science degrees, this does not translate into fewer business
degrees. This is because we have relatively few in fields such as English,
history, psychology, liberal arts, and the humanities in general. Indeed,
Asian Americans represent the highest percentage of all Americans with
MBAs, and the second highest percentage of people with either a
bachelors or doctoral degree in business. Click here to read
documented details. Then go to Section IV and Q2.

To Q2:
False. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics*, Asians
Americans have on average greater seniority than Hispanics, although
Hispanics enjoy a much higher chance of being promoted to managerial
positions. Click here, then goo to Section IV and look for the answer to Q1.

To Q3:
Income is tightly coupled to educational attainment according to
the Census of 2000. Given the fact that Asian Ams have on average much
higher educational attachment, if Asian American workers were paid the
average national salary according to their educational attainment, the
average Asian American income would be about 15% HIGHER than the
average Caucasian income. The reality is that we don’t do nearly as
well. Click here, then go to Section IV, look for Q3.

Higher
household income is a direct result of our higher individuals
income. In addition AsAms families have more wage earners family.
Again, without discrimination against AsAms, the average AsAm
Household earning will be even higher. Click here, and go to

To Q4:
"Men are from Mars and women are from Venus." So the cultural
difference between men and women is not only large but possibly
intrinsic. But that has not prevented women from becoming leaders
nowadays. Think Sandra Day O’Connor, Diane Feinstein, and Hillary
Clinton.

When
discrimination against women was rampant, women were thought
to have less managerial ambition, ability, and communication skills, and
to lack a sense of humor. At the time, many women believed they were
indeed lacking. That is the most insidious aspect of prejudice. The strong
and powerful can get the weak and powerless to doubt themselves!
