This Wired <a href="http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,34110,00.html">story</a> reveals that: <i>Statistics show that even though there are more Asian American scientists in the United States than the total number of African American and Latino scientists combined, they're glaringly underrepresented in high-level academic positions.</i> This seems to be true in the engineering field from my perspective. I was shocked into momentary silence when I met the CEO of SuSE Linux who was an Asian <i>woman</i> no less! People seem to think that just because Asians are stereotypically smart that we're represented in management or high-level positions, but apparently, this is not The Way It Is.

I'd like to run for some public office some day...how about you?
