I cannot agree. I've met lots of healthcare sector analysts on the street and only one or two are Chinese.

I don't think Chinese in law and finance are underrepresented. I think Chinese in politics (outside of California) are underrepresented -- but, not because of education.
I think Chinese in medicine are overrepresented, by far.
But -- today the reality is, Chinese have taken away other races/ethnicities' chance at higher education. When the Chinese are already far overrepresented in the top colleges and universities (20%), does it make sense to eat all of the doughnuts in the box, and leave others with nothing?
In mainland China, there are affirmative action policies for minorities, too (see Affirmative Action in China; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action_in_China , 少數民族加分).
After all, the goal should be for the betterment of the entire country and not just our own people, right?

回复 'HCC' 的评论 : Asian is 20%, but Chinese working in laws/medical/finance/politics are underrepresented in reality. Chinese population only has grown exponentially in the last 10-20 years. Only now we start to over represent in these areas in school. However we have generations to make up. Unless we have a strong base, I would say we are not living up to what we should get as a group.

Asians already account for 20% of Harvard admission -- which is 4 times the percentage in total population. Do we want to deny and diminish other races/ethnicity's chance at higher education?
