Im saying in the US, in Australia they are all pretty much equal. Harvard is a vastly superior uni to San Jose State. Sydney University isnt that much better than something like UOW or Notre Dame.
Yeah I agree, unis here are all really similar. Usyd and unsw just get extra hype

Re: "Bamboo Ceiling": Where are all the asians?

A lot of people in those positions are quite old. Were there really as many asians in the school system 30 years ago?

I think we will start to see them popping up in the near future.

(maybe?)
Yeah, I have the same/a similar thought.

I feel that it will change/improve in the next 20-30 years as more and more Asians go through the university system and working scene.

That's strange, not many asian politicians. Imean, we know that there are exactly the same proportion of asian and white students studying law and attempting to get into poltiics. Don't we? We know that right?

Except we don't know that at all.
If we exclude any bamboo ceiling arguments:
Generally, politics isn't a popular career path for Asians. Less Asians going for politics --> obviously less presence in the political field. I think a majority of 'Asian law students' are setting their sights on fields such as legal practice, accounting, finance, consulting, investment banking, etc.

Yes. They do get the 'academic marks required'. But most of these roles rely in social contact and face to face communications. I'm not saying they all are like this - but most of these "100 ATAR" individuals are so socially alienated when achieving their marks they fail make connections and in effect rise to the top. They are much better off staying under the radar instead of being outgoing and grasping all opportunities. Obviously I don't say all of them like that - but an enough majority of people.
As someone who knows nearly half the 99.95s last year, I can't match your description to any single one of them.

And most of these "100 ATAR" students haven't even left uni yet - so they couldn't have risen to the top regardless of their apparently non-existent social skills.

Doing well academically is not mutually exclusive with strong communication and interpersonal skills. I honestly think the whole "street smarts" thing is a myth perpetuated by Australia's tall poppy syndrome.
